"Endometriosis must be reframed as a chronic condition in which many women will have symptoms that persist or recur across their lifespan, even if they have had surgical treatment."

Why women need better coordination between primary and secondary care

MSC has published its findings on the 2023 clinical academic survey, revealing an ageing workforce and continuing gender and ethnic imbalances in clinical academia.

A worrying trend: Number of FTE obstetricians & gynaecologists working as clinical academics has declined between 2005 & 2023. <2% of UK nursing & midwifery workforce engaged in research in 2022. Who will research to improve care?

⚕️Hugely important study from Linda Kujanpää et al. showing how critical it is that we all work to mitigate the long term impact of PCOS. And we need compassionate support to self-manage - however and whenever PCOS affects us.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) presents as a multimorbid condition by age 50—birth cohort linkage to national register data.

“Women with PCOS are burdened with multimorbidity and higher medication use, independent of BMI and other confounders. Accordingly, preventive strategies are needed to alleviate the disease burden and improve the health outcomes of women with PCOS.”

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal condition that can make it harder to get pregnant & increase the risk of miscarriage.

Our researchers are looking into how to prevent miscarriage for those with PCOS.

The LOCI trial is currently recruiting: https://t.co/QmsDfguk7x

Intresting short article in @NatureMedicine discussing the decline in clinical academics in the UK and US. Another issue, not discussed, is the failure to recognise all the components of the job equally, clinical/research/teaching. The interests of Universities and the NHS are not the same and clinical academics suffer as a result. @StephenORahilly

Bill & Melinda Gates comment on @unibirmingham research: "...identified 7 ways of restarting progress. They include a post-partum haemorrhage kit...with a drape that allows doctors and midwives to easily see if blood loss is reaching a dangerous amount. https://t.co/oKWI50JIYR

🚨The Government's review into miscarriage care has just been published - and it includes an end to the immoral three miscarriage rule.

This is a huge win.

I want to thank everyone who shared their experience & joined the campaign. Without you, this wouldn't have been possible.

[Prof Arri Coomarasamy OBE MBChB MD FRCOG FMedSci @arricoomarasamy]

The 'Graded Model of Care for Miscarriage' will ensure every woman gets care after every miscarriage, and not wait till she has 3 miscarriages to get NHS care. Graded care proposed by @tommys and @TheLancet Series, recommended in #PRL & supported by Govt. https://t.co/KcBtGvTIbR
