This case-based webinar explores management of endometriosis when first-line therapy has not achieved adequate symptom control. Through three realistic patient journeys spanning adolescence, reproductive years and perimenopause, participants will develop practical skills in assessing treatment adequacy, understanding reasons for treatment failure, initiating and monitoring second-line therapies, and recognising when specialist referral is indicated. The session combines expert GP and non-GP specialist perspectives with extensive discussion focused on real-world decision-making in general practice.

Learning Outcomes

1. Determine whether a patient with endometriosis has had an adequate trial of first-line hormonal therapy, using defined criteria for agent, dose, duration and symptom endpoints.
2. Explain why some patients do not respond to first-line hormonal therapy and what treatment escalation entails.
3. Initiate and monitor second-line medical therapy, including PBS eligibility, counselling, monitoring requirements and referral criteria.
4. Identify red-flag symptoms warranting escalation of a patient to secondary care.
