Study by researcher Kami Abdullayev from University College of London.

It involves an online survey open to both patients/members of the public and primary care clinicians, giving them the chance to share their experiences anonymously about managing menstrual symptoms, whether that's navigating care as a patient or delivering it as a clinician. The goal is to better understand the challenges people face, the support currently being offered, and what people feel would genuinely help.
