 | Events: Fibroid Talk at the Dana Centre Science Museum Thurs 5 March 7-9pm |
 The Colour of Health, Fibroids and a Lupus Discussion
The Dana Centre is the adult venue of the Science Museum and is a space for discussions, debates and activities on contemporary science, technology and social issues for the general public. Bridgette York will be attending to speak about new developments for fibroid treatment & her own successful treatment, and whether environmental, or social factors can affect their development. The event is called “The Colour of Health” on Thursday the 5th of March from 7pm-9pm. You are welcome to attend. This event may be webcast.
There are diseases that affect some communities more than others. Rather than just genetics, this is down to an interplay of biological, social and environmental factors. The science museum will be looking at two diseases that are prevalent in women , that can have particular issues for black women, i.e. lupus and fibroids, and discuss causes, support and solutions.
Speakers:
Mariam Molokhia, lecturer in genetic epidemiology, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine
Adetoun Hughes, Chair of the South London Lupus Group.
Isaac Manyonda, consultant gynaecologist, St George's Hospital
Bridgette York founder of the Fibroid Network Patient Group

Black Wome's Healthcare Debate-Fibroids Diane Abbott
Diane Abbot UK MP invites us to the Science Museum for a Healthcare Debate
today Thursday 6th May 2004 Diane Abbott UK Member of Parliament invites Fibroid Network
to a Black Women's Healthcare Debate at the new Dana Centre at the Science
Museum in London 7pm-10pm. Click below at UK GMt 7pm to watch live online
This debate asks how we can create a culturally relevant, responsive and
targeted NHS? Although fibroids affects all races, what are the special needs
among ethnic minorities?
How does the medical profession deal with black women and their specific
healthcare needs? What are the challenges and barriers to communicating with
this group?
What, in turn, do black women need and want from the medical profession? Are
the so-called experts listening: and who are the experts anyway? Isn't it time
that healthcare professionals took notice of the knowledge and experience of
these women themselves? Participants' ideas and positive suggestions will be
submitted to the Department of Health's consultation exercise 'Choosing Health?
A consultation on action to improve people's health'.
