Kath Sansom wins UK health award for leading campaign that improved pelvic mesh safety and policy.
Kath Sansom, founder of the grassroots campaign Sling The Mesh, has won the HealthSense UK Annual Award for her advocacy on pelvic mesh implant safety.
Her decade-long campaign has led to the suspension of certain mesh types, reclassification of surgical mesh, creation of the NHS Pelvic Floor Registry, and increased calls for patient compensation and healthcare transparency.
Recognized for challenging flawed research and medical misogyny, Sansom’s work highlights the impact of lived experience in shaping healthcare policy.
The award, presented at the Royal Society of Medicine by HealthSense president Nick Ross, marks growing acknowledgment of grassroots activism in health advocacy.
