Women's health hubs are now open in every health board area in Wales.

In response to the Women's Health Plan, the Welsh Government committed to opening the seven women’s health hubs by the end of March 2026.

Each hub is tailored to meet the needs of local people and all are designed to improve access to specialist care and deliver services in the community. Some will operate over multiple sites and others will initially be accessed online.

Each health board received £300,000 this year to support the development of the pathfinder women’s health hubs.

In many health boards an initial pathfinder hub has opened, including those at Ysbyty Cwm Cynon, in Mountain Ash, the Sexual Integrated Health Building in Aberystwyth, the Maelfa Hub in Llanedeyrn, Cardiff, in Llandudno Hospital and Nevill Hall Hospital, in Abergavenny.

In Powys and Swansea Bay health board areas, the hubs are currently operating as online portals.

Since the Women's Health Plan was published in December 2024, training for GPs and healthcare workers about endometriosis and other women’s health conditions has been rolled out across the country and health boards have been moving more services into local communities.

Information about the women’s health hubs and how to access them are included on a new website. 

Dr Helen Munro, National Clinical Lead, NHS Wales Performance and Improvement said: "Establishing a women’s health hub in every health board area marks a major step forward for women’s healthcare in Wales.

"Through the NHS Wales Women’s Health Plan, we have listened to the voices and experiences of thousands of women and are transforming that insight into practical change.

"These hubs will make it easier for women to get the help they need at every stage of life. By improving access to information, support, and personalised care closer to home, we are helping to close the gender health gap and ensure women’s health is given the priority it deserves across Wales."
