We are thrilled to announce that our Director, Nina Barnsley, has been honoured with a Lifetime Achievement Award by the European Fertility Society for her extraordinary contributions to the donor conception community. This award is a testament to Nina’s unwavering dedication and tireless efforts in supporting donor conception families over the years.
The award was presented to Nina at this year’s European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) in Amsterdam and is given each year to an individual who has demonstrated an extraordinary effort in enhancing patient care in the fertility industry. Previous recipients of this prestigious award include Professor Tim Child (Associate Professor Of Reproductive Medicine at University of Oxford) and Professor Olexandr Yuzko (President of the Ukrainian Association of Reproductive Medicine).
