LVSPG Meetings

The group meets about every eight weeks or so, on a Saturday morning in the crypt of St Cyprian's Church close to Baker Street Tube station, NW1. (see map here) We make a small charge of £3 per person per meeting to cover hall hire, or £5 if we have a guest speaker. Please don't worry if you are unable to contribute - you will still be very welcome. 

Meetings provide an informal, relaxed environment in which to share our experiences of vulval pain. We discuss treatments, visits to doctors, new group ventures, relevant books and media coverage and how vulval pain affects our sex lives and relationships.

We acknowledge how upsetting the condition can be but channel our frustration into positive action: trying out new treatments and coping mechanisms, lobbying for more research into vulval pain and establishing more productive links with the medical profession, other support organisations and the media. Our outlook is one of determined optimism.  

From time to time we invite a speaker to a meeting to give a talk on a relevant subject, followed by a discussion and question-and-answer session. Thus far we have been joined by Dr David Nunns, who founded the VPS; sex therapist Ruth Hallam-Jones; consultant gynaecologist Miss Wendy Reid; psychosexual therapist Dr Jo Woolf; clinical physiotherapist (women's health) Helen Forth; clinical psychologist Sarah Barker who talked about pain management; Mary Clegg, Sex Coach and Professor AB MacLean.

Please continue to check this website for updates, as details of meetings may be subject to change. We usually go for tea/coffee/lunch afterwards at a nearby restaurant for those who wish to chat a bit more! It's a good idea to check travel arrangements with TfL before setting out.

Also please note that meetings are for sufferers only - partners usually have the opportunity to attend when we have guest speakers. If you have any other reason for wishing to attend a meeting, do contact us beforehand.

2012 provisional meeting dates: all run from 11am till 1pm:
