The aim of this study is to assess the current knowledge level of clinicians and patients about the important link between endometriosis and cardiometabolic health. Researchers will undertake a survey-based quantitative analysis that will provide a snapshot of current gynaecological history taking by healthcare providers from patients with cardiometabolic disease. 

Researchers will also investigate cardiometabolic history taking and screening by gynaecologists from endometriosis patients. This research will take a snapshot of the current healthcare environment to better realise what level of understanding exists, for both doctors and patients, with respect to endometriosis and risk of cardiometabolic disease.
