INVITE YOUR GP PRACTICE TO UP-SKILL THEIR CLINICAL MANAGEMENT OF PMOS
|
Overwhelmingly, those with PMOS feel that they know more about PMOS than the Dr they are seeing (more than 80%!). You also rate the NHS for PMOS care and management a very low 2 out of 10. This is not good enough, and we can't wait on the system to change.
So, Verity has created an evidenced-based course to help change this - but we need your help. Please copy and paste this letter below, and email it to your GP practice and ask them to attend PMOS TIME. You can find your GP Practice email address via the links below: Once you've done that, why not go a step further and tag them in a social media post (include @veritypmos and #PMOSTIME) and help us raise awareness of this course and improve care. |

Dear [Dr / Practice Manager / GP Team],
Re: Training Opportunity – Supporting Better Care for Women with PMOS
I am writing as a patient with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PMOS), a condition that affects around 1 in 8 women in the UK — and with women making up 51% of the population, this represents a significant and growing challenge for general practice.
Despite its prevalence, PMOS is complex, lifelong, and often misunderstood. It affects women from adolescence through to menopause and beyond, with implications for fertility, metabolic health, cardiovascular risk, mental health, and overall quality of life. [Insert a personal sentence or two here about how PMOS affects you personally].
A recent survey by Verity, the UK’s leading PMOS charity, revealed that:
• Women rate NHS care for PMOS just 2 out of 10
• More than 80% of patients feel they are the most informed person in the room during a GP appointment
• Many report feeling dismissed, unsupported, or left to self-manage a life-altering condition
I’m writing to share an important training opportunity that Verity is running that I hope your practice will consider:
PMOS TIME by Verity (PMOS UK)
• An Evidence-Based Course for the Diagnosis and Management of PMOS
• Thursday 21st and Friday 22nd of May 2026 | 💻 Online
• Led by experts in general practice, endocrinology, reproductive medicine, dermatology, dietetics, mental health and patient care
• CPD accreditation pending
• Includes 1-year access to recordings and materials
More information and registration available at: www.verity-pcos.org.uk/pcostime
As a patient, I strongly believe that attending this course could make a meaningful difference for current and future patients at your surgery. I kindly ask that you consider having at least one GP or other healthcare professional from your practice attend.
You might also be interested to know, that Verity has recently sponsored the first All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) in PMOS, and as part of the APPGs work they are running a parliamentary inquiry into the diagnosis and management of PMOS in the UK. You can follow along with this at https://x.com/appg_pcos.
Thank you for your time and for your commitment to improving care. With better understanding and support, PMOS patients can receive the care we so urgently need and deserve.
Kind regards,
[Your Name]
