At The Hamptons Hospital, clinicians came together to address one of the biggest gaps in women’s health, and what was shared on that evening will help patients get seen and treated sooner.

The focus was simple. Identify endometriosis earlier, refer faster and reduce the delays patients continue to face.

We brought together an inspiring group of female clinicians, local GPs and healthcare professionals for a single purpose. To improve how endometriosis is recognised, referred and treated, and to challenge the delays that patients have come to expect.

The evening featured a specialist-led session from internationally recognised Consultant Gynaecologist, Mrs Salma Kayani, who shared practical insight into one of the most underdiagnosed conditions in women’s health. Some attendees also wore yellow to mark Endometriosis Awareness Month, reinforcing the purpose behind the evening.

Despite affecting 1 in 10 women in the UK, endometriosis still takes an average of eight years to diagnose.

The discussion focused on how clinicians can begin to close that gap. From identifying early symptoms to making confident referral decisions, the session was designed to support faster, more accurate care at every stage of the patient journey.

Why This Matters for Patients in Peterborough

This event reflects a wider shift in how care is delivered locally. When clinicians are better connected and better informed, patients move through the system faster and with greater clarity.

Stronger clinical alignment means:

  • You are listened to earlier and taken seriously from the start
  • You are referred to the right specialist without unnecessary delays
  • You get clear answers and a treatment plan sooner

For a condition like endometriosis, where delays are common and impact quality of life, these improvements are not marginal. They are critical.
