More Information
The purpose of this webinar is to provide an update on identifying and investigating the causes of subfertility, appropriate referral pathways, funding criteria for fertility interventions and fertility heath optimisation.
One in six couples suffer subfertility and delays in recognising the cause of subfertility and referral into fertility services can significantly impact on the potential fertility outcomes for these couples.
With collaborative working with primary and secondary care, we can optimise the outcomes by identifying the cause of fertility at an early stage, initiating the appropriate targeted investigations and treatments.
Counselling couples about fertility health can help improve their chances. Managing expectations by being able understand how to interpret the results and factors that can influence couples’ chances so they are given realistic, honest, individualised information is vital.
