Help improve healthcare for women with urinary symptoms: take part in a UKHSA survey

Written By Rajvinder Gill

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), working with the Nuffield Department of Medicine at the University of Oxford, has launched a new study to find out how women deal with urinary symptoms and where they go for help.

Urinary symptoms, such as pain when passing urine or needing to go more often, are common. But not everyone finds it easy to get the care they need. This study aims to understand what helps women get support, and what gets in the way, so that healthcare services can be designed to work better for everyone.

We want to hear from women from all backgrounds, including South Asian communities, whose experiences are often under-represented in research like this.

Who can take part?

  • Women aged 18 or over

  • Living in the UK

  • Who have had urinary symptoms in the past 3 years

What’s involved?

  • A short online survey that takes around 10 minutes

  • It is completely anonymous, so your identity will not be shared

  • The survey is available in 7 languages
