The Southampton Women’s Survey, one of the most important surveys of women’s health ever to be undertaken, this week launches the first in a series of regular newsletters to ensure that the community is aware of the good progress that is now being made. From photographic exhibitions to pregnancies within the Survey Team, the newsletter shows the breadth of activity that is now associated with the Southampton Women’s Survey.

The Survey is now well into its second year of operation, and 27 babies have already been born to women who have participated in the Survey. Around 3,300 women have already been interviewed, and the team of nurses carrying out the interviews will this summer be visiting women living in Southampton city centre.

“We’re delighted with the progress made so far,” said Dr Hazel Inskip, Co-ordinator of the Survey. “The response from the women in Southampton has been amazing”.
