I’m actively involved in research to improve care for women with endometriosis and chronic pelvic pain
My work focuses on developing better ways to measure treatment outcomes and involving women in shaping future clinical trials. I have published over 20 peer-reviewed articles in leading journals, including the British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology and the Journal of Minimally Invasive Gynaecology.
My research has been cited 326 times, demonstrating its impact on the field. Examples include:
