Before founding One Woman Health, Nina worked at the forefront of healthcare innovation alongside her NHS practice — as Clinical Advisor to NHS Chief Executive Sir David Nicholson, Chief Medical Officer for Livi (Europe’s largest online healthcare provider and the first digital service rated Outstanding by the CQC), and Special Advisor to the Care Quality Commission. She has appeared on BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour and is frequently invited to speak on menopause and women’s health for national and international organisations.

I founded One Woman Health to level the playing field for women. I’ve been inspired and supported by many incredible women throughout my career but many told me of the confusion they’d felt at menopause when their bodies started to change, and how hard it was to access the right care, or even receive validation that their symptoms were real, and worthy of attention.

It’s estimated that 1 million women a year are lost to the workforce due to menopause alone.

As I set about addressing this, I learned that menopause is a perfect example of a much bigger problem - the women’s health gap. Although women make up 51% of the population, medicine has always used the male body as the reference point - the benchmark in its research and the design of treatment. Women’s health has been systematically downplayed or entirely neglected, shrouded in taboos.  This has created huge blindspots in care for women.

While women in the UK on average live longer than men, women spend a significantly greater proportion of their lives in ill health and disability when compared with men. And while women make up 51% of the population, historically, the health and care system has been designed by men for men.

The result is that while women in the UK live longer than men on average, we spend a significantly greater proportion of our lives in ill health and disability. We have gaps in our data and evidence base that mean not enough is known about conditions that only affect women, for example, menopause or endometriosis, even though menopause will affect every woman who lives long enough, and endometriosis is as common as type 2 diabetes.  It has also meant that not enough is known about how conditions that affect both men and women impact them in different ways – for example, cardiovascular disease, dementia or mental health conditions

UK Women’s Health Strategy 2022

One Woman Health is founded on the principle that we can do better, right now. We offer something different, by creating a space where women can receive care designed specifically around them - and work to change the world along the way.
People have told me women’s health is ‘niche’. But this is not one small area of medicine fighting for a few more resources. These blindspots put women at risk and represent under-performace for 51 % of the population. For a healthier future, we need a step-change in how we understand female health that’s based on our biology.
