Last week, Kinora had a stand at the NHS Clinical Entrepreneur Programme Big Pitch, marking its 10th anniversary. We had one question for everyone who stopped by our stand: "What is the biggest challenge you face when trying to find trustworthy information about your health?" Reliability. Information overload. Privacy concerns. The noise from sources that have no business being cited. The sense that you genuinely can't tell what's real. The answer that stuck with me most? "Which one?" None of it surprised us. We've interviewed and surveyed a lot of women about exactly these issues. The themes were already well-documented. But hearing it in person, from people of completely different backgrounds, one after another, was a different experience entirely. It's one thing to read it in a survey. It's another to watch someone pause and not know where to begin. We were so busy at the stand that keeping track of the main stage became genuinely difficult. So we'll ask it here too: what's the biggest challenge you face finding trustworthy information about your health? Drop it below. A special thank you to Tony Young and Tamsin H., the beating heart of the programme, and to Polly Sullivan and Lucy Dentice, and our wonderful hosts Rupy Aujla and Funmi (Vanessa) Ullam and the wider team. Ten years of the CEP, and this was the best one yet. #TheBigPitch2026 #NHSCEP #ClinicalEntrepreneurProgramme #HealthcareInnovation #NHSInnovation #ClinicalEntrepreneurship #HealthTech #InnovationCommunity #FutureOfHealthcare #FemTech #WomensHealth
