We all may have heard the word “endometriosis”. But what does it feel like to live with it? What advice might help? How can people be best supported?

We're joined by Menstruation Friendly Independent Panel Member Vickie Williams to shine a light on the topic.

Vickie, driven by her own experience with endometriosis, pursued a PhD in People and Organisations at The Open University UK, focusing on endometriosis in the workplace and the impact of menstrual policy.

She holds a first-class honours degree in Business Management from King’s College London, where her interest in gender and organisational studies began, particularly regarding women’s workplace experiences. Before her PhD, Vickie spent seven years as a Digital Account Director in film and creative agencies across London.

Concurrently, she trained in women’s health and established her own business to support individuals with endometriosis and other gynaecological conditions. Vickie has shared her expertise on endometriosis at prominent venues, including Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospital, London, and the International Critical Management Studies conference.

Her personal and professional experiences provide her with unique insights into the challenges faced by women with invisible and often debilitating gynaecological conditions.

She is particularly interested in how workplace structures and practices can better accommodate these conditions, aiming to improve the work environment for affected individuals.

Millions of women struggle with their periods or menstrual health but how do you know what’s ‘normal’ and what’s not and what can you do about it?
