You've been grand
Sales from our founder’s book, “Endometriosis in Primary Care” have yielded over a thousand pounds towards research into the condition.
Dr Sharma has passed the profits from the tome – which features case studies from our charity – to the University of Manchester. Even relatively small grants can yield amazing results and we - and they - are grateful for your fantastic contribution.
Sadly, resource is something that is scarce in gynaecology generally. Dr Sharma said: “Patients suffering with Endometriosis need an early diagnosis and early treatment to prevent spread and recurrence. But we’re told that there is no funding available to employ specialists or resource devolved into finding effective treatment for a condition that effects one in ten women!”
The prolific author has also written books on conditions such as COPD and PAD (Peripheral Artery Disease), profits from which have been donated to local charities.
And you read it here, first. She is working on another endometriosis book in the New Year – so stay with us for more!

Speaking up for a loved one, on the agenda
Finding out the correct information in amongst a maelstrom of healthcare terms and fraught emotion can be so difficult for some patients.
That’s why we rely on loved ones who also have to contend with a condition such as endometriosis that some medics simply don’t understand.
Advocating for a Loved One is therefore one of the topics under discussion at this year’s flagship meeting of our charity – go to UPCOMINGEVENTS
Senior doctors, researchers, MPs and a very special guest will join us as we debate all things endo on December 6.
There will be much more to come on the Rochdale based meeting, so for now, pencil it in your diary!
