Why health care is a feminist issue – with guest Caroline Criado Perez

Nursing is a predominantly female profession, yet sex and gender bias is rife. In a remarkably candid conversation, feminist writer Caroline Criado Perez, author of ‘Invisible Women: Exposing Data Bias in a World Designed for Men’, tells us how health care and health care research fails women, how changes are needed for women experiencing miscarriage – and what it means when medicine treats the female body as atypical and niche. We’re also joined by RCN member Leanne Patrick, who works in services for women experiencing gender-based violence and tweets @FeministRCN Nursing Matters is presented by PNC chair Rachel Hollis and Alison Leary.

Healthcare is done to people, especially women, not with them.” – Alison Leary Presented by Rachel Hollis. Audio production by Alex Rees. Assistant producer Jelena Sofronijevic.
