THE DIRECTOR OF the European Institute of Women’s Health knows what it takes to change a healthcare system to make it equitable and accessible; she just needs every stakeholder – especially policymakers – to participate, to listen… and to want change.
“When you are talking about changing a health system, you are talking a multi-level approach, multiple expertise as well,” Director Peggy Maguire told Journal Media Managing Editor Susan Daly in a live fireside chat this week.
“You have to look at the clinicians, you have to look at the policy-makers, the NGOs; you have to involve everybody in creating this critical mass and understanding so that change can be made.
“But you also need political will, as well. If you haven’t got the political will, nothing will ever change.”
Launching in 1996, the Institute’s work over the past quarter of a century has spanned the worlds of clinical research, public health communication and EU-wide collaboration, all with the objective of promoting understanding and better management of women’s specific health and wellness needs, improving health outcomes for all in turn.
Watch our video of the event – with added questions from The Good Information Project audience – to discover the new research leading to better treatment of women and communication among health practitioners of the approach needed to give women the best possible results from the healthcare system.
The conversation ranges from the historic absence of women and older people in clinical trials to campaigns to tailored recognition of women’s symptoms in cardiovascular disease to a woman’s right to information and voice in life stages from pregnancy to pain management to the menopause and beyond.
“What women really want is certainty,” says Maguire, “They want certainty that the information they are getting is the correct information, they want certainty in accessing appropriate treatment and care.”

Shatter apologise?? Some chance alright
Shines a bright light on the FG/Labour mafia, FF are looking like amateurs now and we won’t do anything about it!
No chance of Shatter apologising.
But if he dies, can he also sack Cullinan and Resign himself.
ENDA ARE YOU LISTENING ?
There is more chance of me shitting a Faberge egg than Shatter saying sorry
Apologise?? FFS he should have been removed and prosecuted under the data protection act when he used confidential Garda information on national television to attack a political opponent.
Well then, sign and share: http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/dismiss-minister-alan-shatter
But he should say sorry to a guy who did the same thing?
Shatter apologise? Never going to happen and Kenny going on about transparency you just know they are going to do a little as possible….
They say that the only honour there is , is amongst Thieves -& my golly amongst FF/FG/Lab. there are many !
They have robbed our Country and it’s Citizens of our dignity and our money too – when it was promised and given to the Bondholders and most Countries are laughing at us since then , as they would the soft touches that we are !
We have a Government Minister in Shatter , who has been complicit in a coverup with our most Senior Garda commissioner !
A Taoiseach , whose best buddy had his hand in the cookie jar of a “Charity” in the inner sanctum of FG !
Holy Jerusalem ! what more could come from Fianna Fáil , Fine Gael and the totally spineless Labour Party ?
It makes me vomit to think about them !
Indeed…while SF/IRA robbed our banks and citizens….
Shalom Shatter
@KKK: “while SF/IRA robbed our banks and citizens….”
Better to support a party which robs its citizens for its banks, right kris?
By the way, which members of sinn fein are you accusing of bank robbery?
Kris – of KKK – the original ‘one trick pony’ man !
Like an old 78 scratched record repeating the same part of a sentence and making absolutely zero sense – while locked in a maze prior to 1997 !
I pity you – a Chara !
The IRA robbed £27 million in the Northern Bank robbery which kind of pales into insignificance when compared with the €240 billion debt Fianna Fáil landed us with and with FG/Lab contining to service that debt by paying unsecured bond holders via our taxes that are supposed to be for public services. That’s the biggest robbery of them all.
SF just use balaclavas when theyre robbing – a chara
You must know Kris – KKK Were you a Recruit ?
Still haven’t told us which members of SF kris. Usual BS.
No Carraioch…but I reckon you were considering your love for all “Republican”.
We shall not forget at election time.
SF/IRA also murdered innocent civilians let’s not forget that but if you think that’s ok your sick and twisted.
Do the honourable thing………Shatter and Callinan RESIGN
Expecting a politician to do the honourable thing, & to hear it coming from the likes of Michael Martin.
Release the flying pigs!
He should be made apologise by Kenny or be sacked! This country is rotten to the core!
Alan Shatter has done nothing wrong, and should rewarded with a pay increase. Tax free of course.
Apologise? He should be walking
Yup, if you agree, sign and share please:

The least Sgt McCabe deserves is an apology.
His reputation, his professionalism and his integrity have all been questioned.
Not an easy thing for anyone to go through. He is a courageous man.
Where the lying ends the stupid, verbose jibes begin…
And pigs may fly!
Alan Shatter would probably get a panic or an Asthma attack if had to apologise .
He would start hyper-ventilating and a brown paper bag is all he would be able to blow in to….
Do the honourable thing Shatter and resign, and do Ireland a big big favour
Shatter should go and michael should follow him.
Apologise!!! More chance of Spud Jones speaking sense!!!
Enda always comes back at Martin with when your government was in power you failed to do this must be hard for Martin to argue back with that
I cant wait to hear that donkey of a man appologise !!
Indeed the real reason Shatter should be dismissed is the manner in which he has conducted a free for all with Irish passports, over 70,000 in three years all the while genuine Irish people born and educated here have had to leave the country, Irish passports paid for with Irish blood, not the blood of Africans, Chinese or whatever. It is treason, pure and simple, what would Michael Collins think of this man who now holds the office he once held?
Shatters family name was Sharonski, originally from Latvia, Shatter not just a name but a statement of intent for the Irish nation.
@david A
Well said fully agree , shatter has no business inflicting the indigenous Irish with mass immigration , he does not have the Irish people’s permission to do what he is doing , it’s a travesty and disaster for out little island that he holds the position he does
Could we stick please stick to the topic at hand. You can save the xenophobia for the dole queue.
Donnelly seems like a well clewed in man and has been great in the Dail.
There’ll have to be a steward’s enquiry if Michael Martin flogs this dead political high horse any harder.
John – are you and KKK brothers ?
Same old nonsense from you too – a Chara !
This demand for an apology coming from someone other than Michael Martin might get some serious attention but from this mediocrity of a man it means nothing.
“Do the Honourable thing”
From an Irish politician of all people.
It just shows how the biggest circus in town think of its citizens. We may be stupid to elect the people in the Dail but we are that that stupid to believe them. What evidence is there to demonstrate that one of these politicians has HONOUR. Please name one.
Looks like shatter and commissioner will have to go.
Discipline the high officers that inappropriately cancelled the points and put in new lad at the top.
I do find it highly disturbing that commissioner called them discusting while they highlight what’s now proven to be holes in system.
“Do the honourable thing”? Don’t think honourable is a word in the dictionary used by the main political parties in this country.
Starting to get sick of this blame Fianna fail white they keep spurting
Apologise??? Honourable??? Not words that are in the Ministers vocabulary.
That’s the problem with all these cumts
No liability for their actions but don’t forget the Gardai who came good once operated with that protection.
And the one who hide behind it well their kids or grand kids may not work those jobs and will be open to persecution from the protected classes.
Or Else What?
Maybe shatter just needs to go to the bathroom with the shats
have your say
