Endometriosis is the most common benign gynaecological condition worldwide, which is frequently mis-diagnosed, dismissed and under-recognised. This course will prepare and empower students with the knowledge and essential attributes to be an advocate for all individuals experiencing chronic pelvic pain and endometriosis.

The purpose of this unit of study is to provide the student with the necessary theoretical knowledge to improve how they assess and manage endometriosis and pelvic pain in the clinical setting. This is achieved by exploring endometriosis pathophysiology, pain physiology, and contemporary, evidence-based treatment and management within various clinical settings. A holistic, individual, person centred approach is core to this subject.
