Moving Women to the Heart of Health

As a leading global consultancy with deep expertise in healthcare, we recognise our responsibility to tackle gender disparity in health communications. This commitment led to the launch of our bespoke Women’s Health offering, designed to empower our clients.

Shaping healthier futures for all women

By broadening the scope of women's health beyond the limited confines of reproductive health, we have become a catalyst for change, placing women at the heart of healthcare. Collaborating with clients across all health and wellness sectors, we provide the necessary passion, insight and knowledge to develop comprehensive programmes that enhance understanding, knowledge, and health outcomes for women.

Women's Health Indicator

Central to this offer is our Women's Health Indicator. This proprietary tool, crafted by our team of data analysts and behaviour experts, pinpoints specific gaps in women's health. It accomplishes this by analysing and evaluating data points across society, media, and policy. Leveraging the Women’s Health Indicator we have developed compelling insights on a number of important topics ranging from Alzheimer’s Disease and Women, Immune Diseases and Women, Women and CVD and The Impact of Climate Change on Women’s Health.

Weber Shandwick is a driving force, shining a light on the gender disparities in health and appealing to the industry to do more to meet the unmet needs of women especially as it relates to illnesses that are highly prevalent, manifest differently, and are poorly diagnosed like cardiovascular disease.

Neil Johnson

Executive Director, Global Heart Hub

I am impressed and proud to partner with The Weber Shandwick Collective on the Women’s Health initiative. We must not underestimate the role of communication in raising awareness of the inequalities that exist in health and the widening of gender disparities. The significance of what TWSC is doing to re-define women’s health beyond reproductive health and be a catalyst for change in the communications industry is to be applauded.

Health Equity Advisor

Weber Shandwick's Women's Health Indicator informed our approach to examining the intersection of climate change and women's health. It not only provided us with an in-depth understanding of the current discourse around this topic but also illuminated potential opportunities. These insights have helped shape our strategic focus as we move forward into 2025 addressing the unmet health needs of women globally.
