About
Bridging Generations: Women’s Health, Wellbeing, and Equity is an interdisciplinary conference bringing together researchers, clinicians, policymakers, community leaders, and people with lived experience to explore the evolving landscape of women’s health across generations.
We will have a series of research talks discussing how women’s health around and during pregnancy impacts on the long-term health of their offspring, as well as the mother’s own future health, and why pregnancy is a unique window of opportunity to improve the health of two generations at once. This event will focus on building new networks between people from a range of disciplines working in the fields of women’s health, pregnancy and inter-generational programming around the Cambridge region.
Through dialogue, collaboration, and innovation, the conference will examine key challenges and opportunities in health equity, mental and physical wellbeing, reproductive and community health, and systems change, with the aim of building more inclusive, compassionate, and equitable futures for women and girls locally and globally.
Organised by the theme leads for 'Health and wellbeing across generations', Dr Laura Dearden (IMS-MRL) and Dr Shobhana Nagraj (PHPC)
