- Organised by Medicine and Me, Endometriosis UK
Join us for an essential event dedicated to increasing awareness and understanding of endometriosis. This unique gathering will bring together healthcare professionals, researchers, and those living with endometriosis to share insights, experiences, and the latest advancements in diagnosis and treatment.
Why Attend?
Endometriosis is a complex and often misunderstood condition that affects 10% of women and those assigned female at birth—over 1.5 million people in the UK alone. Despite its prevalence, diagnosis and treatment remain significant challenges.
By attending this event, you will:
- Gain a deeper understanding of endometriosis, its symptoms, and its impact on daily life.
- Hear first-hand experiences from patients navigating the condition.
- Learn about the latest research, treatment options, and management strategies.
- Participate in discussions that foster collaboration between healthcare professionals and patients.
Event Sessions
The event will be divided into three key discussions:
- Getting a Diagnosis: Understand the barriers to timely diagnosis, including delays, NICE guidelines, new developments in testing, and the challenges of symptom recognition.
- Managing and Treating Endometriosis: Explore treatment options, challenges in research, and the patient experience. This session will cover persistent disease, symptom management, and fertility considerations (with appropriate content warnings).
- The Challenges of Endometriosis-Related Pain: Delve into the impact of endometriosis on education and work, as well as the latest insights into pain management from surgical and physiotherapy perspectives.
