Medical management of endometriosis is often contraceptive. In contrast, surgical treatment may improve the chance of spontaneous conception. There is conflicting evidence as to whether surgery improves outcomes with assisted conception, and this should be discussed with a specialist in reproductive medicine. Surgery, particularly for ovarian endometriosis, can cause a decreased ovarian reserve and fertility preservation should be considered. There is no standard approach to managing endometriosis in the fertility setting. It is important to take a holistic approach to diagnosis and management of the subfertile couple where endometriosis may be a contributing factor.

The use of telemedicine in obstetrics and gynaecology clinical practice increased significantly during the COVID‐19 pandemic. This article presents a framework to ensure training opportunities continue during telemedicine consultations, allowing trainees to develop their skills within the framework of telemedicine to optimise consultations and safe clinical practice. Remote teaching offers several advantages and disadvantages over face‐to‐face teaching. The value of each teaching method needs to be considered for the specific setting and the content tailored accordingly. Hybrid delivery is an option now that the infrastructure is in place. Telementoring includes remote supervision of clinics and expert review of, for example, colposcopy and ultrasound images. The technology is available for live‐stream remote supervision of ultrasound and surgery, allowing expert input out of hours or in geographically isolated areas. Telesimulation training can occur remotely and offers the possibility of remote assessment with artificial intelligence. The use of simulation technology may facilitate the standardisation of practical skills assessment in obstetrics and gynaecology.
