If you are a survivor of sexual abuse or violence you can show your card when you feel ready. It’s a gentle way to ask for care adjustments—like slower pacing, extra reassurance, or a chaperone.

Pick up a card in Gynaecology Outpatients reception or speak to a member of the team who are trauma aware and will be able to help you.

“I have found the cards really helpful and almost like a security blanket. I have found myself being able to express my needs safe in the knowledge that I have the card to help if I struggle. It has almost empowered me really. This is a fantastic project and very much needed.” – Andrea

Liverpool Women’s University Hospital is proud to support the first World Premature Ovarian Insufficiency (POI) Day, raising awareness of this important condition that affects 1 in 100 women under 40. POI can have a significant impact on physical, emotional and psychological wellbeing.

As one of the few centres in the region with a dedicated POI clinic, we provide holistic, patient-centred care that addresses not only hormone replacement but also psychological health, and general health and wellbeing. Our multidisciplinary team works together to ensure each patient receives comprehensive support tailored to their individual needs.

In addition, Liverpool Women’s is a recruiting centre for the POISE trial, contributing to vital research that aims to improve understanding and treatment options for women and girls living with POI.
