Endometriosis awareness month

Can you believe we’re nearly halfway through Endometriosis Action Month?

This month our fundraisers have taken on some amazing challenges, over 2000 emails have been sent to local representatives, we’ve met with over 100 parliamentarians to demand change, and there has been some incredible awareness across the media with over 400 news articles on endometriosis already this month alone. Your stories empower change - and we are so grateful to everyone who has been involved.

We’re reflecting back on just how busy the first half of the month has been. Read more on our blog - https://www.endometriosis-uk.org/endometriosis-action-month-week-1-round 💛

If you’re aged between 40 and 74, it is likely that you will be invited to attend an NHS Health Check. The NHS Health Check programme helps prevent heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, kidney disease and certain types of dementia. An early diagnosis of any one of these conditions can help improve your health.

If you think you are eligible but have not been invited, contact your GP surgery to find out if they offer NHS Health Checks or contact your local Public Health team to find out where you can get an NHS Health Check.

As Victoria Fields, Managing Director – Active Neuro, shares:
