You’re invited to a frank discussion on:
• living with vulval pain
• experiences of accessing appropriate healthcare and treatment
• self-management and recovery
• changes patients want to see
• support group better practices
As well as being open about their personal journeys, we will also be voicing the experiences of members of the London Vulval Pain Support Group (LVPSG).
THIS IS FOR:
Yes, it’s a patient takeover and everyone is invited! Whether you live with vulval pain, are a clinician, health professional or researcher, come along and bring your questions!
WITH:
1. SHEREN GAULBERT (Host) - VPS Trustee, pain science educator, therapist & former patient (vulvodynia & other persisting pain)
2. CLAUDIA CHISARI (Moderator) – VPS Research Advisor, researcher in vulvodynia at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience, King’s College London
3. KAY THOMAS - VPS Operations Director, living with vulval pain
WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT:
At least 1 in 7 experience vulval pain in their life, so the likelihood is that even if you are not aware, someone you know may be going through this pain right now or do so in future. Knowledge is power, it's time for change.
