The APPG on Women’s Health met on 9th September 2025 to discuss ovarian cancer. The meeting brought together parliamentarians, charities, representatives of professional bodies, the Government and industry to discuss challenges in ovarian cancer, the wider systemic issues in women’s health, and the opportunities to drive change.
The discussion highlighted the UK’s comparatively poor outcomes for ovarian cancer, with lower survival rates, later-stage diagnoses, long delays in treatment and stark inequalities across age, ethnicity and geography. The meeting closed with a commitment to produce a position paper to capture priorities and recommendations that will be launched in Parliament on 25th November.
The APPG on Women’s Health Spotlight Campaign on Ovarian Cancer and its associated materials/activities have been commissioned and funded by AbbVie.
