Caseload The cCNS will focus initially on the following service user groups: any patient requiring Chronic Pain Support in the Endometriosis Service. The concepts are: o Clinical Focus (Direct and Indirect Care) o Service user/client Advocacy o Education and Training o Audit and Research o Consultancy (including leadership in clinical practice) Endometriosis and Chronic Pelvic Pain To deepen clinical understanding of chronic pelvic pain and endometriosis, highlighting diagnostic challenges, multifactorial nature, treatment pathways, and the broader biopsychosocial impacts on women. Endometriosis affects at least 1 in 10 women globally, with significant underdiagnosis and misdiagnosis. Chronic Pelvic Pain (CPP) can be defined as either cyclic or non-cyclic pain lasting >6 months, localized to the pelvis, abdomen, or lower back, and has multiple causes. Endometriosis, defined as the presence of endometrium-like tissue outside the uterus, is one cause of CPP. Direct Care: · Pathophysiology- Ectopic endometrial tissue causes inflammation, fibrosis, and neuropathic pain. · Hormone fluctuations lead to cyclical exacerbation of symptoms. · Symptomatology- Severe dysmenorrhea, premenstrual pain, dyspareunia, dyschezia, dysuria. · Infertility; 30% of women with endometriosis have fertility issues and 50% of women attending fertility clinics have endometriosis. · Pain is often disproportionate to the extent of the disease · Diagnostic challenges- Average delay to diagnosis: 7–9 years. · Previous reliance on laparoscopy for definitive diagnosis, current guidelines advocate a presumptive or working diagnosis based on patient symptoms · Limitations of imaging and biomarkers; endometriosis can be under-or overcalled by different imaging modalities. Advanced transvaginal ultrasound is more commonly utilised currently · Treatment modalities- Medical: NSAIDs, hormonal therapies (COCP, progestins, GnRH analoguess). Surgical: ablation, excision of endometriosis / endometriomas, oophorectomy, hysterectomy where there is adenomyosis and in cases refractory to more conservative treatments · Multidisciplinary: Pain management, physiotherapy, fertility support. Indirect Care: · Psychological Burden- High rates of depression, anxiety, and emotional distress. Impact on body image, sexual health, and self-esteem. · Social & Occupational Functioning- Absenteeism, reduced productivity, and career disruption. Strained relationships and social isolation. · Economic Costs-Direct costs: diagnostics, medications, surgeries. Indirect costs: lost income, disability claims, long-term care. · Healthcare System Strain- Repeated GP visits, referrals, and emergency presentations. · Need for specialist-led care pathways and early intervention protocols. The application of speciality-focused knowledge and skills of the cClinical Nurse Specialist (CNS) (hereafter referred to the CNS) will provide for the care and on-going management of patients with conditions relating to chronic pelvic pain in endometriosis patients. The post holder will be required to work as a key member of the endometriosis team in the hospital providing physical, psychological and emotional support to the woman and their families/carers throughout their disease trajectory.
