A call to action to modernise care for women with persistent pelvic pain

Dr Karen Joseph, in collaboration with Prof. Sonia Grover, has recently published an article ‘ Endometriosis and pelvic pain: Time to treat the symptoms not the assumptions? ’, a call to action to modernise care for the 1 in 5 women living with persistent pelvic pain.

The management of pelvic pain is lagging decades behind other types of pain - remaining focussed on visible pathology rather than the lived experience of the person in pain. Bringing a modern pain neuroscience-informed sociopscyhobiomedical approach will require significant investment and systemic change, however women living with and suffering from pelvic pain deserve this effort.

Dr Joseph becomes an international ambassador for the International Pelvic Pain Society

Congratulations to Dr Karen Joseph, who has been made an International Ambassador for the International Pelvic Pain Society. This Society was established in 1996 with the following objectives:

To promote education about interdisciplinary approaches to the evaluation and treatment of health conditions associated with chronic pelvic pain.
To support individuals living with chronic pelvic pain by improving access to care, and supporting physical and emotional well-being.
To raise public awareness through education, outreach and engagement and improve the lives of patients worldwide.

Dr Joseph, who is a Specialist Pain Medicine Physician and Gynaecologist, has been deeply involved in improving the care of those with chronic pelvic pain in New Zealand. The IPPS International Ambassador recognises IPPS members whose focus is to identify and establish collaborations in their region and between North American based IPPS members and international colleagues who have a similar interest in pelvic pain.
