What Does Good Design for Women's Health Actually Look Like?

From the workplace to the sports pitch to the buildings we move through every day, too many spaces were never designed with women's health in mind. That's what we're here to change.

On Wednesday 20th May, as part of Women's Health Month, Riley is bringing together leading voices in HR, sports, and women's health for an honest, expert-led conversation about what good design for women's health actually looks like and what it takes to get there.

This isn't just a conversation for women. It's a conversation for everyone who has a hand in building better workplaces, better environments, and better outcomes for women's health.
