📈Professor Stephen Smith, formerly a Professor of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Cambridge and Dean of Medicine at Imperial, is heavily involved in the biotech and MedTech business, particularly focusing on innovative changes in women's health.


🏠Our conversation at GIANT Health centers on the challenges and solutions in women's health care, focusing on the need for more attention to women's health despite its historical neglect. Professor Smith advocates for the establishment of women's health hubs within the NHS, providing centralised care and diagnostics for women's health issues to streamline the patient experience.


📝One of the key issues he highlighted was the fragmentation of medical records within the NHS but on the flip side, there seem to be promising innovations in diagnosis and treatment for common gynecological conditions like preeclampsia and endometriosis.


🙋🏽‍♀️Overall, we mention the importance of prioritising women's health, streamlining healthcare processes, and empowering patients to take an active role in their own healthcare journey.
