WE NEED YOUR HELP!

"Include 'PELVIC PAIN' in the UK university curriculum for ALL medical students.

Over 1 million women (and men) in this country suffer from pelvic pain. Many suffer chronic, debilitating pain. Most struggle to find good medical care as their GPs and consultants received no education about pelvic pain during training. Please help us make it a part of all medical training."
