I am so honoured to be given this opportunity to raise awareness!
V. proud of Vice-Chair @RachelRow19 & volunteer @LaraCowpe for their contribution to the @FinancialTimes today. It explores the issues accessing #healthservices in #Wales which, for women, can be compounded by a global lack of recognition for their specific health needs.

I really valued this about my experience with GPs π
"Allowing me to challenge & ask questions, to discuss with me investigations I felt I needed, & what my options were, made me feel a partner in my healthcare decisions". @LaraCowpe on talking to GPs about endometriosis: https://t.co/L1AOx5GGS8

I am so grateful to the GPs I saw in relation to my endometriosis. I write about this in this @CochraneUK blog to highlight good practice and provide advice for GPs and patients with or suspected #endometriosis

Thereβs still time to complete our survey on how cancer has impacted young people over the past year. We want to hear from as many young people who have/have had cancer as possible. Please help us by sharing far and wide π https://t.co/nnF92zYJU3

This is unacceptable and needs to change. There were issues with endo services pre COVID and too many people are left waiting and dealing with symptoms. #endometriosis is a full body disease and affects all aspects of daily living. @JaneHutt @vaughangething
