GPs take the lead in Tassie

In 2024 we partnered with Primary Health Tasmania to give GPs access to the online Vagenius Training course about Persistent Pelvic Pain and diseases such as endometriosis. Almost 20% of all active Tasmanian GPs have now done our training course.

Our Tasmanian GPs were so keen to know more, that all the scholarships funded by Primary Health Tasmania ran out the door! More places were offered due to demand, and they all got snapped up too!

"This is incredible," says Dr Emily Ware, the women's health GP who leads the learning on the course. "GPs are evidently keen to learn about the complex array of symptoms that can be presented at a first consult by a patient, and all the things they may need to know after that to work alongside their patient. They can use this knowledge to significantly reduce the time taken to diagnose those Australian girls, women and people assigned female at birth who have endometriosis and who currently wait an average of 6.5 years for diagnosis."
