Thursday 24th September, 2026 | 6pm-8pm

At Modern Woman, we believe every woman deserves to understand her body and feel supported in getting the care she needs. That’s why we’re working with Guy’s & St Thomas’ Specialist Care to host an informative evening dedicated to fibroids.

We’re bringing together clinical expertise and real lived experience for an open panel discussion and Q&A on Thursday 24^th September from 6pm-8pm at their new Gynaecology unit on Wimpole Street, London.

Fibroids affect up to 80% of women at some point in their lives, yet many don’t even know they have them. They’re common, but too often women live with symptoms for years before feeling able to seek help. We want to change that.

Join our CEO, Rosie Coxshaw, as she hosts this special women’s health event alongside leading gynaecologists from Guy’s and St Thomas’, for an honest conversation about symptoms, diagnosis and treatment options.

You’ll have the chance to ask your own questions directly to the panel, in a space designed to be welcoming, supportive and judgement-free.

Come be part of an important conversation — hear different perspectives, ask the questions you’ve always wanted answered, and leave with a clearer understanding of fibroids and the options available to you.

Spaces are limited, book via the link below to reserve your complimentary place.
