TIGER UK Group CIC exists to improve experiences of gynaecology across the UK. Our vision is that positive gynaecology experiences become the norm and no one leaves an appointment with avoidable trauma. During the reporting period, TIGER UK continued to bring together people with lived experience, healthcare professionals, researchers, policy makers and other stakeholders to identify problems within gynaecology and opportunities for change. Our work has included: - Continuing to develop and grow the TIGER UK Network, which now has more than 300 members from across the UK, bringing together people with lived experience, professionals and organisations interested in improving gynaecology. - Conducting a UK-wide mixed-methods survey exploring experiences of vaginal access procedures. The survey received 706 responses, gathering valuable evidence about patient experiences and highlighting areas where practice and communication can be improved. - Sharing emerging evidence and lived experience with relevant stakeholders, including healthcare organisations, professional groups and policy makers. - Holding more than 50 stakeholder meetings and discussions, encouraging people with different perspectives and expertise to contribute to the development of TIGER UK's work. - Convening collaborative discussions to explore specific challenges in gynaecology and identify opportunities for improvement. - Developing and sharing written and digital resources, including blogs, recordings, and other communications designed to raise awareness of patient experience, improvement approaches, and encourage discussion about better practice. - Delivering an information-sharing webinar in collaboration with the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) - Creating opportunities for people with lived experience to contribute directly to conversations about policy, research, clinical practice and service improvement. - Raising awareness of the issues identified through TIGER UK's work through external media and professional channels, including coverage and engagement from organisations such as the BMJ and RCN. - Contributing to wider policy discussions around gynaecology and women's health, including engagement with NHS stakeholders and representation of lived-experience perspectives. A key principle throughout this work has been ensuring that people affected by gynaecological care are not simply consulted about change but are able to help shape the issues being discussed, the evidence gathered and the solutions developed.

TIGER UK uses a collaborative and lived-experience-led approach to stakeholder engagement. Our stakeholders include people with lived experience of gynaecological care, patients and members of the public, healthcare professionals, researchers, policy makers, professional organisations and other organisations working in women's health. During the reporting period we consulted and engaged stakeholders through: - The TIGER UK Network, which provides an ongoing opportunity for people to contribute to and shape our work. - A UK-wide survey, which generated 706 responses and provided direct evidence about people's experiences of vaginal access procedures. - More than 50 stakeholder meetings and discussions. - Collaborative discussions involving people with different professional and lived-experience perspectives. - Online events and webinars, including our NICE webinar. - Direct engagement with NHS and other healthcare stakeholders. - Written communications, blogs and online engagement. - Individual conversations with people with lived experience and professionals. This engagement has reinforced the importance of listening to people with lived experience and of creating spaces where difficult or sensitive experiences can be discussed openly and constructively. The feedback and evidence gathered have helped TIGER UK identify recurring themes around communication, consent, dignity, trauma, choice, preparation and the way procedures are experienced by patients. They have also demonstrated the value of bringing lived experience together with clinical, research and policy expertise. These activities therefore directly informed the issues TIGER UK prioritises, the evidence it gathers, the discussions it convenes and the way it communicates its findings.
