Sir Eric Thomas Memorial Lecture:
Optimising women’s health benefits everyone in society: Why every nation should invest in a women’s health strategy
Professor Dame Lesley Regan, Imperial College London

This event is held in memory of Sir Eric Thomas, founding Chair of the Advisory Board for the Campaign for Newcastle University.

The first woman in the UK to hold a chair on obstetrics and gynaecology, our speaker combines her clinical work and research with a passion for communicating to the wider world. She has been the Women’s Health Ambassador for England since 2022 and is a former President of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, only the second woman to ever hold this role.
