Women’s heart health: voices of lived experience
Heart disease is a major cause of ill health and death for women in Scotland, and certain risk factors may have more of an impact on women’s risk of heart disease than men’s. Despite this, the awareness of women’s experience of heart conditions is limited and heart disease in women is not commonly represented. In this short video we hear from three women, Trisha, Donna and Jill, who all have lived experience of a heart condition. Their experiences are different, but they share commonalities in the challenges they have faced and in their current attitudes towards living well with their conditions.

Join Scottish Sensory Hub Programme Manager, Hannah Tweed for an insightful conversation with Nuala Watt, disability activist and poet, as we delve into her latest poetry collection “Department of Work and Pensions Assesses A Jade Fish.” Nuala discusses her inspiration behind the poems, wishing to be unremarkable, and the intersection of poetry and activism. From her experiences of disability and motherhood to navigating bureaucratic hurdles, Nuala’s work offers a poignant reflection on life’s complexities.
