Global platform for endo
Our founder Dr Anita Sharma has just returned from bringing endometriosis awareness to the world.
The good doctor spoke eloquently at the 16th Annual Science event in Cancun, Mexico, prompting quite a discussion and debate!
Whilst our forte is fighting endometriosis in the Northwest of England, it is estimated that 190 million people globally are living with the condition.
And that is why we are happy to share good practice from other countries in this site and in social media.
There will be more from Dr Anita’s contribution to the conference in the Bida Journal, coming shortly - https://bida-online.com/
Welcoming Emma Cox
Our charity offers the warmest greetings to the CEO of Endometriosis UK, with the promise of a lot of common ground and even greater awareness of a blight harming one-in-ten women.
Emma joined the nation’s premiere endo charity in February 2016, and has overseen a sustained period of growth and development for the organisation. This includes awareness raising, new campaigns, and building key relationships with healthcare practitioners, researchers and policy influencers.
Endometriosis Awareness North was set-up to meet the needs of warriors in Greater Manchester, raise awareness and help fund research – as with that currently ongoing at the University of Manchester. We are also here to highlight regional health inequalities.
Endometriosis UK has been an enormous influence on us, and we are so keen to share ideas and hear their vision at our December 6 event.

MP one of the speakers to fight our corner
We are delighted that Member of Parliament Elsie Blundell will again be joining us – this time at our December event.
The member for Heywood and Middleton will be at the podium, having been at many of our previous discussions, fundraisers and events over the past year.
Elsie has the midday slot in a meeting also featuring endo warriors, their families, senior clinicians and another very special guest (go to UPCOMING EVENTS).
The free event takes place on 6 December from 10 30am.
Whilst there is great political debate about the issue of endo and women’s health in general, we believe raising awareness of the condition is a moral one, which asks us to alleviate the physical and mental pain of others.
