Coming soon, we dispatch our response to MP Elsie

We believe this is the MAJOR contribution to Endometriosis Awareness Month.

A better tomorrow called for - on the day before
On the eve of a celebration of women across the globe, our charity once again put the spotlight on the forgotten female condition – endometriosis.
Members of the team gathered at another bastion of equality – the Methodist Church in Hurst, Tameside – to celebrate International Women’s Day and call for quicker diagnosis, better treatment and even, a cure for a condition effecting one in ten females.
Dr Anita Sharma chair and founder of our charity said “The health and well-being of women is critical to the well-being of society. Women suffering with endometriosis are not getting the care they need, and this is costing £12.5 billion to the UK economy every year.”

Fighting talk from our warrior
“Most of all, they have convinced me that I am not alone. Someone feeling the same as you (when you have endo) is on the one hand tragic, but there’s strength in the unity of girls.”
That’s the view Tash has expressed this Endometriosis Awareness Month – as the warrior blogs on what our charity has done for her.
She also won’t mind us telling you that her diatribe includes some familiar scenarios – being dismissed by doctors, disbelieved by those around her and waiting an age for a diagnosis.
But she also possesses that same stout heart that many warriors have, and her response has been to involve her media students in campaigning for better awareness.
Go to (BLOGS)where it’s good to remind ourselves of what our charity and the current month-long campaign is all about!

Doctor's appointment this endo month
Endometriosis Awareness Month is in full swing with events across the world raising the public consciousness.
But doesn’t it say everything about the situation that one group that needs real persuading – is doctors!
With that in mind, our founder Dr Anita Sharma is speaking at a MediConf event attended by thousands of practitioners across the worldwide web.
Recognising symptoms (and not merely dismissing them) will no doubt be high on her agenda. This might cut diagnosis times from their current level of 10 YEARS! Understanding the #mentalhealth strain of endo will be there also, as will encouraging doctors to campaign with us, put the issue on the public agenda, and find resource for better treatment and maybe even a cure.
Dr Sharma has a superb track record of speaking at medical events, ranging from training for resident (junior) doctors to international seminars for organisations such as BIDA (British International Doctors Association).
As you will see from the agenda, everything from diabetes to wheezes in schoolchildren will be covered.
