Persistent Pelvic Pain

Complex or persistent pelvic pain (PPP) requires a whole-person approach. This evidence-based, clinician-led course equips you with practical skills to confidently lead multidisciplinary care for women experiencing PPP. Join Women’s Health GP Specialist Dr Emily Ware in this evidence-based course designed to enable clinicians to confidently improve outcomes and lead better care for women living with persistent pelvic pain.

Pelvic Organ Prolapse

Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) affects up to 50% of women and can significantly impact quality of life. This structured course led by APA Women’s Health Physiotherapist Rachel Andrew provides practical clinical tools to identify POP early, support patient self-management, and apply evidence-based treatment strategies – all while addressing the emotional and physical realities of this common condition.

Pregnancy and Post-partum

Led by experienced clinicians, this CPD course covers postnatal milestones, return to exercise, breastfeeding, pelvic health, and the physical and emotional transitions of early motherhood. It offers evidence-based guidance you can apply in practice right away.

Problematic Periods in Adolescence

Prevention of problematic periods, or persistent pelvic pain, begins with the first practitioner a person sees. Women's Health GP Specialist Dr Emily Ware explains how to assess, diagnose and manage menstrual issues experienced by the 50% of 16–25 year olds who experience problematic periods, the 88% who have dysmenorrhoea and the 1 in 7 women who have endometriosis.

Vulval Pain

Not all vulval pain or itching is the same. 1 in 10 women have vulval pain. Is it Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause, Chronic thrush, Lichen Simplex, Lichen Sclerosus, Lichen Planus and how do you tell? In this course Women's Health GP Specialist Dr Emily Ware equips GPs to make differential diagnoses, identify red flags, and manage treatment pathways for this complex and distressing issue, so they can provide timely, effective care and follow-up.

Vagenius was founded in Lutruwita/Tasmania, Australia by Rachel Andrew, an APA Continence and Women’s Health Physiotherapist, and Colette McKiernan, a specialist in adult education and professional development.

They’ve engaged a team of experienced GPs, researchers and specialists to produce course content informed by contemporary relevant research and resources and years of knowledge working in multidisciplinary teams.

At Vagenius, we believe pelvic health knowledge shouldn’t be hard to access or hard to use. Our courses are practical, research-informed, and designed to help you upskill with confidence – wherever you are in your clinical career.
