Today we celebrate International Women’s Day — a moment to recognise the achievements, strength, and contributions of women everywhere.

At Hannage Brook, we are proud to work alongside so many incredible women who care for our patients and support our community every day. In our clinical team, reception and admin and managers, women play a vital role in delivering compassionate, high-quality care.

We also want to acknowledge the women in our community — patients, carers, mothers, daughters, colleagues and friends — whose resilience, tenacity, creativity and contributions make a difference every day.

This year’s theme reminds us that while progress has been made, there is still more to do to achieve equality and improve health outcomes for women everywhere (https://www.peopleshealthtrust.org.uk/news/blogs/international-womens-day-2026)

Happy International Women’s Day to all the amazing women in our team and our community.

March is Endometriosis Awareness Month 💛

Nearly 2% of our patients are living with endometriosis and that’s only those with a confirmed diagnosis. We know many more may be experiencing symptoms without answers.

Endometriosis can significantly impact daily life, and diagnosis is often delayed. Raising awareness helps people recognise symptoms sooner and seek the support they deserve.
