Today, we're proud to launch HER SHIELD โ€“ a new NAHS initiative dedicated to supporting, developing and empowering women across healthcare security.

Healthcare security is built on professionalism, resilience and compassion. Yet women remain significantly underrepresented in frontline security roles despite making up the majority of the NHS workforce.

HER SHIELD exists to help change that.

This campaign will shine a spotlight on the women already making a difference across our profession while creating opportunities for more women to enter, develop and lead within healthcare security.

Through resources, leadership development, wellbeing support, safety initiatives, networking opportunities and real-life stories, HER SHIELD aims to build a stronger, more inclusive future for our profession.

Because when women are supported to thrive, healthcare security becomes stronger for everyone.
โœ… Empowered to Protect
โœ… Inspired to Lead
โœ… Committed to Change

Join us as we celebrate the women shaping healthcare security today and inspire the next generation of leaders for tomorrow.

This isn't just a campaign launch. It's the beginning of a conversation about representation, opportunity and the future of healthcare security.

Because here's the reality:
Women make up less than 25% of frontline healthcare security roles, in an NHS workforce that is over 77% female.

In environments where patients are at their most vulnerable.
Where communication matters.
Where representation matters.

The people keeping our hospitals safe should reflect the diverse communities they serve.

We're about to launch an initiative focused on recognition, representation and creating positive change across our sector.

Not long to wait now...launching Monday 15 June.
