Nice visit to Stratford upon Avon today to speak at the Endocrine Nurse Update about psychosocial support needs in polycystic ovary syndrome.
I also heard some presentations that got me thinking. While much of the biochemistry and physiology went over my head, I was struck by case presentations focused on endocrine cancers.
I thought I'd have a look at what work has been done on the psychosocial impact of these conditions (for example, multiple endocrine neoplasias), and indeed on supportive interventions. Although there have been calls for more work in this area, not much seems to have been published yet. Perhaps one for a student on our MSc Health Psychology to look at researching for a dissertation project...
