Congratulations to Dr Emily Ware for her election to the board of The Australian and New Zealand Vulvovaginal Society. Emily is a Women's Health GP Specialist and the lead contributor to our highly rated online course on Persistent Pelvic Pain – we know she’ll be a great asset to the board.
Adelaide PHN are supporting their GPs with multiple scholarships for our Persistent Pelvic Pain course. GPs started signing up immediately to do our highly-rated, self-paced online training to learn how to diagnose and manage patients with Persistent Pelvic Pain, including endometriosis and adenomyosis.
We were thrilled to be featured in the latest issue of Primary Health Matters Tasmania, where the spotlight was on how the Vagenius training course on Persistent Pelvic Pain is helping GPs across the state to better support patients with persistent pelvic pain.
Sydney World Conference on Endometriosis, 2025. Vivid Festival. What a vivid memory for Vagenius co-founders Colette and Rachel, and lead specialist women's health general practitioner, Dr Emily Ware, who works with girls, women and those assigned female at birth, who experience persistent pelvic pain.
What an amazing organisation Women's Health Tasmania is! It held its inaugral conference on reproductive health last week. What a success!

GPs in Tasmania have rushed to apply for the education scholarships offered by Primary Health Tasmania, to learn more about persistent pelvic pain and endometriosis. The course 'Persistent Pelvic Pain - Leadership in Care' was recommended to colleagues by 100% of the first cohort's participants completing in December 2024. The results showed that many GPs commented that they had a 'more structured pathway', felt 'empowered' and 'less overwhelmed' after completing the course.
General Practitioner Registrars Australia (GPRA) news item 'Breaking Barriers in Women's Pelvic Health Education' is out this week. With a focus on Vagenius Training's latest course, Persistent Pelvic Pain - Leadership in Care it highlights how groundbreaking this is for GPs. Published for Endometriosis Month, Colette, Training Lead at Vagenius says, 'we are very excited to partner with the GPRA to support their Registrars who want to learn more about women's pelvic health.'
Maree Davenport has been busy. Dr Connan and Rachel Andrew are busy checking it out. Both of them have contributed to Maree's new book 'The Australian Guide to Living Well with Endometriosis', released in March, is now available as a book or ebook. The book aims to help girls, women and those assigned female at birth to 'recognise, manage and treat this life-altering condition.'
We have partnered with Primary Health Tasmania to give Tasmanian GPs access to the online Vagenius Training course about Persistent Pelvic Pain, and diseases such as endometriosis and adenomyosis. 1 in 7 women have endometriosis, which can present with a complex array of symptoms. This structured approach is making an impact.
Results from our first cohort of Vagenius participants who have completed our Persistent Pelvic Pain - Leadership in Care course are overwhelmingly positive. 'It is super comprehensive' one GP reported, 'and outlines a practical approach to planning a patient goal-centred and team approach to care.' GP course participants like the structured, online approach and practical, immediately-applicable resources such as the one-page self care plan patients can use as a health summary and management plan.
