Virtual Workshop for Fertility Nurses Midwives

Whilst advances in reproductive medicine has created scope and diversity in treatment options, it has also increased patient expectation. Multidisciplinary team working is therefore essential for the delivery of integrated quality patient care. Fertility nurses and midwives provide a holistic approach to patient care, from investigation to first- and second-line treatments. Specialist roles encompass donor insemination, egg donation, surrogacy arrangements, in addition to management of early pregnancy, and recurrent implantation failure/miscarriage.

Increasing responsibility and the extended role of fertility nurses and midwives requires excellent communication skills with both patients and the wider multidisciplinary team (clinicians, scientists, administrative and counselling colleagues) in addition to specialist teams (oncology, gynaecology, endocrinology) as appropriate. Living with infertility has been likened to that of bereavement, therefore the psychological support of patients throughout their fertility journey is paramount.
