The Women's Health Plan aims to improve health outcomes and health services for all women and girls in Scotland. This second annual report provides a summary of the progress made on delivering the Plan.


Gender and Health

Equally Safe at Work

Equally Safe at Work is a programme that supports employers to improve their employment practice, advance gender equality and prevent violence against women.

Four NHS Boards (Public Health Scotland, Ayrshire and Arran, Dumfries and Galloway and Healthcare Improvement Scotland) took part in the initial pilot which commenced in July 2022. The pilot has now ended and in November 2023, the Boards were accredited as Equally Safe at Work employers.

The Scottish Government are working closely with Close the Gap and Health Boards to further increase NHSScotland participation in the programme when it is re-launched in Spring 2024.
