BIAS: Inequality in Women's Health and Research - Fiona McDonnell, Service Coordinator
Fiona McDonnell tells us about Jane's Place - the female-only day service will provide a ‘one-stop-shop’ for access to information and supports across health, addiction, life skills, gender-based violence, coercive control, legal issues, education, employment support, counselling and mental health services.

Merchants Quay Ireland is a leading Irish charity working with people experiencing homelessness and people who use drugs. The organisation provides services ranging from crisis and case management, healthcare services, harm reduction and family support to residential and community detox & rehabilitation, aftercare, and prison-based addiction counselling.
Through their recent Gender Equality in Drug Treatment Project the MQI Women’s Project aims to create and implement responses that will improve access, and ultimately outcomes, for women experiencing multiple levels of disadvantage or exclusion.
Join in this #ScienceWeek 7-14 November as we take a look at bias in women's health and research.
