Bespoke Training for Your Organisation

We can offer bespoke training sessions to suit your organisation’s needs. The aim of our training is to equip your teams with a broad knowledge of endometriosis, an understanding of how employees may be affected in the workplace, and how best to support staff. By providing excellent support for employees, you should receive increased productivity from staff and experience fewer absences from work.

See here for some examples of the types of training sessions we can offer, which can be adapted to meet the individual needs of your organisation. 

If you would like to find out more about our training sessions, please contact employers@endometriosis-uk.org
