Training women scientists and clinicians for the 21st century

Scientists at Imperial College, Hammersmith Hospital lead the way in understanding and finding solutions to the most dangerous journey that all humans make – through conception, pregnancy and birth.

Here at the Wolfson & Weston Research Centre for Family Health we house the largest team of doctors and scientists in Britain, working together to improve the health of women and babies. This is truly the centre of excellence, unparalleled in Europe.

The Women for Women Appeal – headed by Professor Robert Winston – is raising funds to train women scientists and clinicians - empowering more women to lead in this field. They will work in the research centre to improve prevention, diagnosis and treatment of a range of devastating conditions which cause miscarriage, genetic diseases, infertility and cancer. The fundamental aim is to improve women’s health and to ensure that more women have a normal pregnancy with a healthy baby.

Each year the research centre trains at least 10 scientists Working alongside eminent researchers they make invaluable contributions to research projects and are important authors on virtually all of our publications. We need to recruit scientists of the highest calibre and expand this programme.

The Women for Women Appeal will help train women scientists and clinicians to be leaders in the 21st century. The Appeal is administered by the Institute of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Trust, Registered Charity No.292518
