The #NorthInnovationWomen campaign, back for its eighth year, provides an informal and supportive platform for women to be acknowledged and celebrated. This year, inspiration has been taken from the NHSA’s Health Equity North Woman of the North report, with the report’s themes being used to inspire suggestions of women working to address regional inequalities that women face.
The social media campaign relies on X, BlueSky and LinkedIn users to suggest women they want to see included in the list – there are no strict criteria or voting systems. This year’s list features hundreds of women who are achieving great things and inspiring those around them across the North of England, as recommended by our Twitter followers.
Hannah Davies, NHSA Chief Executive, said: "This is a record breaking number of recommendations for North Innovation Women, and I want to thank everyone who supported the campaign. This year, we used our Woman of the North work to inspire recommendations and it's clear just how hard people are working to fight the wide-ranging inequalities that women face throughout their lives. Congratulations to everyone who made the list, the breadth and range of women is not only inspirational, but is indicative of the talent we have here in the North of England
