🚨 Calling NHS Fertility Units & Resident Doctors/Fellows
Join ENCORE — a UK-wide study evaluating access to NHS fertility care. We’ll map pathways, wait times & regional variation to improve equity. 🧬
Sign up: https://t.co/4tmPSHdKxH
📊 What we’re evaluating
✔️ Waiting times to consultation and treatment
✔️ Local referral pathways and eligibility criteria
✔️ Regional variation in access to care
💡 Infertility affects 1 in 6 couples in the UK, yet access to NHS-funded fertility services varies dramatically by region. ENCORE aims to shine a light on the real-world NHS fertility pathway — from GP referral to treatment — and identify delays, barriers, and inequities.
📢 Calling all obstetricians 📢
We are looking for collaborators for a new national audit to understand variation during induction of labour and support safe IOL practice🔍
