This survey aims to gather insights from girls, women, and those assigned female at birth about their experiences of menstruation and the information they wish they had received before their periods began.
Alongside wider listening and involvement work, the findings will help Navigating Our Womanhood Together (NOWT) codesign and deliver future Period Parties / workshops, and a resource book to support young people in understanding, preparing for, and managing menstruation with confidence.
We would be grateful if you could share the survey with any relevant groups, schools, youth organisations, community networks, colleagues, or individuals who may be interested in contributing.
Survey - What I wish I knew before starting my period
NOWT currently works across the Black Country and is expanding it's reach into Birmingham, Solihull, and surrounding areas. By gathering a wide range of experiences and perspectives, we can help ensure future resources and activities meet the needs of the communities they are designed to support.
More people are using the NHS App than ever before, and it is becoming a key part of the Government’s plan to create a modern, efficient health service. However, digital exclusion remains a significant challenge across the UK, particularly for some groups who may struggle to access online services.
In autumn 2025, the Government announced plans to introduce the NHS’s first national “digital-first” online service for planned care. This aims to reduce waiting times and make it easier for people to access high-quality care.

Patients reported that their appointments had been cancelled, despite attending as scheduled on the day, only to be informed upon arrival that their appointment(s) were no longer going ahead. In one case, this occurred on three separate occasions.
Healthwatch Walsall is seeking to understand whether there are recurring issues with appointment management. If you have attended appointments at Walsall Manor Hospital within the past two years, please take a few minutes to complete this survey and share your experiences.
