Save the date for September
We have just announced the details of 2025’s BIDA national conference.
The event will be held on Saturday 20 September at the Hilton Hotel in historic, Chester – see poster.
With seminars, presentations, and plenty of time to network and socialise, 2024’s event proved particularly popular and insightful.
So please, make a note in your diary and hopefully we will see you there!
Figures on endo floor fundraisers
The Chair of our Women’s Health Forum, Dr Anita Sharma left guests at a coffee morning stunned – as she outlined how long an endometriosis diagnosis takes.
Dr Sharma was speaking at a Manchester fundraiser for her charity Endometriosis Awareness North, when she revealed that sufferers typically waited seven years to be correctly assessed and start treatment for the relentless pelvic condition.
The event afforded Anita the opportunity of meeting an 80-year-old who had endured the condition. Sadly, treatment for endo has barely changed since then – hence Dr Sharma’s campaigning work.
