We are delighted to be holding Endometriosis Research Now! on Saturday 17th November - the UKs first Endometriosis Scientific Research Conference for those with endometriosis, family and friends. Organised in conjunction with World Endometriosis Research Foundation and the World Endometriosis Society, we will be joined for the day by top researcher from across the UK and a key note speaker all the way from America - Stacey Missmer, Professor of Obstetrics, Gynaecology and Reproductive Biology at Michigan State University and Scientific Director, Boston Centre for Endometriosis, who will be guiding us through the challenges and direction of endometriosis research in the future.
As well as sessions giving an overview of endometriosis research and future directions, and on the genetics of endometriosis, there will be a range of seminars to choose from including:
The Conference will run from 9.30 am to 4.30 pm on Saturday 17th November in central London.
We have secured funding to provide subsidised places for those with endometriosis, friends and family, with a reduced rate for the unwaged. We also have a limited number of travel bursaries available to the unwaged too – email admin@endometriosis-uk.org for further details.
Delegate fees, including refreshments and lunch:
Individual - £38.50

Please note these fees are for those with endometriosis, family and friends only as they are heavily subsidised. If you represent an organisation or are a healthcare professional and would like to attend, please contact us at admin@endometriosis-uk.org.
