Endometrial hyperplasia happens when there is overgrowth of the lining of the uterus (endometrium). Some women with endometrial hyperplasia may experience heavy or unexpected vaginal bleeding, including bleeding after the menopause. Some women will not have any symptoms. It is often suspected from an ultrasound scan, but you will need an endometrial biopsy (a sample of endometrium) to confirm the diagnosis. In many cases, endometrial hyperplasia goes away with time, even without treatment. In some cases, endometrial hyperplasia can progress into cancer of the uterus. The RCOG has published a new patient information resource about endometrial hyperplasia that may be useful for those who have been told they have endometrial hyperplasia, or may be at risk of developing it. This information may also be helpful for healthcare professionals to share with a patient to provide accessible information on this topic. You can access the full resource here: https://brnw.ch/21wQnvI

Join us at the Green Maternity Conference in London to discover innovative ways NHS teams are reducing environmental impacts while improving care for women, people and babies. The Orkney team is reducing stress, improving care and cutting carbon emissions with local newborn ultrasound screening. The change will bring significant benefits to families and has the potential to improve job satisfaction and working relationships, all while reducing environmental and financial impacts of travel to the NHS.

The RCOG has expressed deep concern and disappointment amid reports that the UK Government is considering removing the requirement for NHS integrated care boards to fund women’s health hubs. Yesterday, we published an open letter to the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care strongly recommending that the Government retains the requirement for ICBs to fund women’s health hubs, which will help reduce waiting lists, improve women’s access to healthcare services in the community, and provide a return on investment for the Government. The RCOG have campaigned for the implementation of the hub model for years and recent evaluations have demonstrated their value and the transformational impact they can have for women and the wider health system.

The UK governments and health services have an important role in protecting women’s health and lives from the growing threat of climate change. Climate change has created climate extremes around the world. In the UK, temperatures are increasing and exceeded 40°C for the first time ever in 2022 - with particular risks for women in pregnancy and in older age. Outside of the UK, climate change exacerbates global inequalities in regions which are the most vulnerable to severe climate-related risks. Extreme weather, poverty, food insecurity and displacement caused by climate change directly damage women’s health, disrupt access to essential healthcare, and hold back progress on gender equality. The RCOG is prioritising action to support our membership to deliver more sustainable care, reduce our own emissions, and advocate for a healthier future for women and girls. As part of this, the College has developed a new policy position setting out why it is vital that the UK governments and health services consider women’s health in their response to climate change. We are calling on the UK Government to substantially reduce greenhouse gas emissions across the economy. This includes rapidly phasing out support for fossil fuels, and ensuring health and equity are always a top priority during this change. Read more: https://brnw.ch/21wQiuu
