If you’re looking to start fertility treatment or you are a professional working in the field of assisted reproduction, do check out the new Fertility Policy Tracker from PET, the independent fertility charity. The tracker is free to access on their website: Fertility Policy Tracker.
PET have reviewed all available Integrated Care Board (ICB) policies and produced a useful summary of the NHS-funded fertility treatment available in each area. Just select your ICB from the drop-down menu to find out how many IVF cycles are offered, if same-sex couples are supported and what eligibility criteria there are.
PET are campaigning for greater equality in fertility treatment and for all ICBs to offer the NICE recommended level of fertility care. PET are asking those being affected to put pressure on their MP and ICB to make these much-needed changes. You can find out more about PET’s mission here.
