The All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Endometriosis brings together MPs and Peers from all political parties to ensure endometriosis remains high up on the political agenda. The Group was originally established in 2018 by the late Sir David Amess.
The APPG meets 2-3 times a year and focuses on issues affecting the endometriosis community, discussing new policy solutions and ways the Government can improve care. Topics for previous meetings have included diagnosis, access to treatment and endometriosis research. The APPG works closely with a number of stakeholders including charities, NHS organisations, healthcare practitioners, research bodies and people with lived experience of endometriosis.
A highlight of the APPG was undertaking a groundbreaking inquiry into endometriosis in 2020, which you can read here.
Endometriosis UK provides secretariat to the Group and provides administration support to the Officers of the Group to help facilitate meetings and events. You can contact the APPG by emailing endometriosisappg@endometriosis-uk.org
