We are so excited to be partnering with Volteface to raise awareness and share content around female health and medical cannabis. Such an under researched area with an unmet need - it is why we do what we do at Evolv.

Medical cannabis was legalised 5 years ago in the UK, yet so many patients are still struggling to access the medicine. 🌱Great write up from CannabisHealth on how we got here: cannabishealthnews.co.uk/2023/11/01/fiv…

🔬🥼Our team was in Greece two weeks ago for observational data collection from our second 2nd cultivation and stability trial using standardised protocol for distinctness, uniformity and stability tests. 🌱Plants are looking uniform, healthy and ready for harvest!

“It was like cement had been poured into my pelvis." Sky reporter Charline BM looks into endometriosis, a health challenge affecting millions of women across the UK and the world. What is it and what’s being done to find a cure? 👇

🚺We visited the Vagina Museum yesterday. A really well curated and educational exhibit on endometriosis which we would highly recommend! 🌱Plus, it was great seeing a medical cannabis shoutout as a treatment method which many endometriosis patients use for symptom management

Such an important issue and great to see mainstream media continuing to report on endometriosis to break the silence and raise awareness

"The only real way to diagnose endometriosis is through invasive surgery and not everyone wants to do that" @CarlaCressy from The Endometriosis Foundation discusses her journey with endometriosis, saying she has learnt more from the community than clinicians about it news.sky.com/video/it-looke…

Whoppi Goldberg opens up about her endometriosis diagnosis "Women pay taxes. I don’t understand why when doctors go to school forever, they’re not taught about a woman’s body.” independent.co.uk/life-style/who…

Endometriosis costs the UK £8.2 bil a year in treatment costs and loss of work When filming her documentary, Charline BM came across a Sky News report in 1993 on endometriosis saying much of what her recent investigation had, nothing has really changed news.sky.com/video/endometr…

Almost 1/4 of UK working women have considered quitting due to the impact of menopause or menstrual symptoms at work, according to new research Simplyhealth The workforce could lose 3.5m female employees unless more is done to support them. cityam.com/millions-of-uk…

❓Why is cannabis used to self-manage pain in endometriosis? 💡Findings show that cannabis-derived endocannabinoids have a protective effect on the gut, decrease gut inflammation and suppressing bloating, the most common endometriosis symptom. news-medical.net/news/20231114/…

A really important step to mainstreaming the conversation around menopause and the importance supporting women. For far too long the consequences of menopause have not been taken seriously theguardian.com/society/2023/n…

Great piece in the The Guardian highlighting the problem modern, developed societies have around underrepresentation of women in clinical trials. This has a massive impact on disease outcomes and must change. theguardian.com/science/2023/n…

"Representation is not the problem: about 50% of people enrolled in neuroimaging studies listed on OpenNeuro.org are women. Researchers are simply not choosing to study (and funders to invest in the study of) health factors specific to women" nature.com/articles/d4158…

Fantastic to see the Scottish government taking the initiative to understand the lived experiences of patients with endometriosis. Any intervention must be patient focused with their needs and experiences put first. gov.scot/publications/e…

It is unacceptable that as many as 57% of women are misdiagnosed by their doctor. We need to see more female centred research to close the gender data gap. independent.co.uk/life-style/hea…

Medical cannabis presents a lot of potential in managing and treating pain. Yet there is still so much we don’t understand about the mechanisms for how it works. newscientist.com/article/240244…

Can we delay menopause? Great documentary from the BBC News (UK) investigating innovation around this important new area of research and development youtube.com/watch?v=pql63k…

So great to see initiatives like these taking place. There is so much power in women coming together to create change. brightonandhovenews.org/2023/12/08/sup…
