Great to be part of this wider collaboration with @CaPP3 @ProfEmmaCrosbie @heatherhampel et al. This study provides much-needed clarity and reassurance for health systems like the NHS: MMR testing by IHC is accurate in womb cancers. regeneration-repair.ed.ac.uk… @EdinUni_IRR

Being a medical student is simply not affordable. Many students are living hand to mouth relying on income from part-time jobs or parents. For others that don’t have these options, they may simply be unable to finish medical school.

🚨 Introducing the Period Symptom Checker 🚨 Too many women suffer in silence, battling heavy bleeding and pain every month, only to be told it’s “just a period” when they do seek help. Stigma and lack of awareness of period health prevent many women from getting the support they need. But it doesn’t have to be this way! That’s why we have launched the Period Symptom Checker, designed to help women and girls to take control of their menstrual health. Developed with GPs, gynaecologists, researchers, and women with lived experience, the Period Symptom Checker is here to empower women with knowledge and the confidence to seek help sooner. 💬 If you or someone you know is struggling with painful, heavy periods, use the Period Symptom Checker today and take the first step toward getting the support you need. 🔗 Try it now: ow.ly/Fr8Y50UXnNR It’s not #JustAPeriod #PeriodSymptomChecker #MenstrualHealth #Periods #PeriodPain #HeavyBleeding
