A new report from Endometriosis UK has revealed that the average diagnosis time in Wales has risen to 9 years and 11 months.

This virtual event will discuss this further and look at work underway in Wales to address the problem, including the launch of new content on NHS Wales-approved website, Endometriosis Cymru, and a digitised Symptom Reporting Tool.

  • Emma Cox, CEO of Endometriosis UK, will be on the panel to share some further insights from the report.
  • Debbie Shaffer, Founder of FTWW, and member of the Endometriosis Cymru team, will be joined by fellow team member and lead researcher, Professor Jacky Boivin (Cardiff University), to share information about the newly updated website.
  • Dr Robyn Jackowich (Cardiff University), who has led the development of the digital Endometriosis Cymru Symptom Reporting Tool, will explain how the tool has been developed and its aim of reducing diagnostic delays. 
  • Mr Anthony Griffiths, Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist at the University Hospital of Wales Teaching Hospital, Cardiff, where he provides care for endometriosis patients as part of a multidisciplinary tertiary centre.
  • Endometriosis UK Mid-Wales support group leader and volunteer, Lowri.

They will be joined by a number of other experts, including healthcare professionals and patient advocates, to discuss what must change to improve endometriosis care in Wales.

This event will include a Q&A session. Please submit questions before the event to policy@endometriosis-uk.org.
