Where policy, healthcare and innovation meet for women’s health.
Wednesday 9 September 2026 · Parliament Buildings, Stormont. A high-impact convening of healthcare, public health, policy, academia, innovation, advocacy, industry and lived experience to advance women’s health in Northern Ireland.
Why the forum exists.
Women’s health is increasingly being prioritised across the UK and Ireland, yet Northern Ireland still does not have a dedicated Women’s Health Strategy. This creates a gap between policy progress elsewhere and implementation locally.
The SHE Women’s Health Forum is designed to bring the right people into one room: government, healthcare, public health, universities, workplaces, innovators, charities, advocates and community voices.
The purpose is not simply to raise awareness. It is to create structured discussion, identify gaps, share learning from other regions, and explore what practical infrastructure could support better women’s health outcomes across Northern Ireland.
SHE is convening the forum to move women’s health from fragmented discussion into coordinated, practical progress.
- Women’s Health Strategy for Northern Ireland
