"What I wish I had been told..."

We have been busy preparing for Awareness Week which this year runs from the 3rd to the 11th March.

We would love to have some case studies on the following topics

'What I wish I had been told...about getting a diagnosis'

'What I wish I had been told...about surgery/recovery from surgery'

'What I wish I had been told...about finding the right treatment (for me)'

What I wish I had been told...about living with endometriosis'

and

'What I wish I had been told...about accessing support and information'.

Case studies will be published on our website, social media and used for engaging with national media.

If you would like to submit a case study please click on the link below. The deadline for submissions is Friday the 16th February.
