Round up - and ready to go
Over the last few weeks, we have given you details of speakers such as Elsie Blundell MP, case studies set to be featured, and the word on our special guest from Endometriosis UK.
The media has also played their part in promoting our December 6 event – see https://www.rochdaletimes.co.uk/rochdale-endo-warriors-are-helping-pioneer-treatment-of-debilitating-condition/
So now for the final reminder – the meeting takes place this Saturday at the Norden Bowling and Social Club on Trinity Street in #Rochdale, starting at 10 30am.
There will be an opportunity to question both our founder Dr Anita Sharma and specialist Dr Kenneth Ma, plus the all-important chance to network with other endo warriors and their families.
This really is one not to be missed.

Speaking up this Saturday
We have rightly been a platform for those with endo to speak up.
But this Saturday, there will be another group whose views we’ll hear – those who care for endometriosis warriors.
Our experience has taught us that endo also impacts on the lives, careers, and mental health of carers, who also have the pain of watching their loved ones suffer and be ignored.
Daniel and Tony will take to the stage at our December 6 event to share exactly what that is like – see https://endometriosisawarenessnorth.com/upcoming-events
If you care for someone with endo and want to enlighten others on what it’s like, we have events and even our BLOGS page where you can do that.
You would do your part in raising awareness of this dreadful blight and help someone you love.
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.
