Thirty years of IVF

This year's National Infertility Day in July will mark thirty years of IVF with a speech from Professor Robert Edwards, the pioneer whose research led to the birth of Louise Brown, the first IVF baby, in 1978.

National Infertility Day is open to anyone who'd like to attend, and a whole host of speakers will cover a wide range of fertility-related topic from specific medical treatments and conditions to complementary therapies and ethical issues. There will also be a good selection of exhibitors, all giving their own advice and information on infertility and treatment. The event is being held at the New Connaught Rooms, close to the heart of London's Covent Garden, on July 19th.

The organisers have also just announced an evening social event with a champagne reception and barbecue at the Grange Whitehall Hotel, where delegates will have a chance to mingle with speakers and exhibitors.
