About this education
This case-based webinar explores management of endometriosis when first-line therapy has not achieved adequate symptom control. Through three patient journeys spanning adolescence, reproductive years and perimenopause, participants will develop practical skills in assessing treatment adequacy, understanding reasons for treatment failure, initiating and monitoring second-line therapies, and recognising when specialist referral is indicated.
The session combines expert GP and non-GP specialist perspectives with extensive discussion focused on real-world decision-making in general practice.
