NHS doctors and nurses demand return of the word 'woman' in gender-inclusive pages about childbirth and ovarian cancer
The word "woman" must be used on NHS websites for cancer and pregnancy information, more than 1,000 doctors, nurses and health workers have told the service.At least 19 pages either don't use the word or use it on top of non-gendered language, including those dedicated to childbirth, ovarian and uterus cancer, periods and menopause.
The letter, seen by The Telegraph, said: "Removal of sex-based language is discriminatory and could leave the NHS open to legal challenge... We call for the reinstatement of sex-based, respectful communication that meets the healthcare needs of women."Specifically, the NHS must use women's words for women's bodies and women's health problems... NHS.UK healthcare messaging shows a lack of concern for women, is disrespectful and insults women.
Dr Louise Irvine, a spokesman for the group, said: "These changes have occurred by stealth across the UK, over the past couple of years.
