## Description

" Gender bias in healthcare is not just persistent: its pervasive. Women's voices have been questioned, minimised, or outright dismissed, often with devastating, even fatal, consequences." This trailblazing book shines a light on the uncomfortable truths we all need to confront within gender bias in healthcare. Centred on patient stories and lived experience, this comprehensively researched, evidence-based resource amplifies women's voices where they have too often been undermined. From heart health and reproductive health, to eating disorders, birth trauma, and autism, Jinty Sheerin and Louise Hockings-Thompson invite readers, particularly healthcare professionals, to listen, reflect, and act. This book is an urgent and compassionate call to action, and a vitally important step towards clinical excellence and women's health.
