"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.

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

🚨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.

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. gov.uk/government/publicatio…
Could not be more proud to work for @arricoomarasamy and this accolade could not be more deserved. Huge congratulations! 👏🏽
We're so proud of Prof. Arri Coomarasamy, a much-loved member of our team, who has been awarded an OBE by His Majesty the King in recognition of his work in improving maternal health for families across the world. Congratulations 🌟

This new discussion paper by @BasselWattar & @VikramSinai argues for the safe, effective and ethical use of ovulation induction in couples with anovulatory subfertility, supplemented by a judicious use of assisted conception treatments.

Yikes! Are people still trying prednisone for recurrent implantation failure? It doesn't improve live birth rate vs placebo & increases the risk of preterm delivery & early pregnancy loss @DrMelDavies @OBSevidence @jimgthornton jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…
