Educate and empower your patients
You may have patients sitting in your waiting room with endometriosis pain right now – or maybe they’ve got other red flags – but the condition has never crossed their mind.
You can empower your patients with the knowledge they need to spot endometriosis symptoms. Simply tell them about IsItEndo.co.uk. This is an endometriosis awareness site, developed and provided by Gedeon Richter.
It contains helpful information on all things endometriosis, including the symptoms and how to go about getting a diagnosis. Your patients will also find a ‘Red Flag Finder’ on the homepage, which asks a series of questions to identify potential warning signs that they should speak to you about.
Enhance your own knowledge
The following resources – or ‘Endopedia’ as we like to call it – have been selected to fit into your busy day. From NICE guidelines to CPD, you can glean the specialist knowledge you might need to raise the red flag for your patients yet to be diagnosed with endometriosis.
Your Endopedia:
- NICE Clinical Knowledge Summaries (CKS) – Endometriosis background information
- NICE diagnosis and management guidelines – When should I suspect endometriosis?
- The NICE website contains useful information on endometriosis symptoms and diagnosis guidelines
- The NHS website also has further reading on endometriosis, including symptoms when the NHS recommends your patients book an appointment with you
- Endometriosis UK has a website full of helpful information, including patient testimonials
- CPD from MIMS Learning, ‘Endometriosis: clinical review’ (1.5 hours)
