Not too late for National Infertility Day

It's not too late to book for National Infertility Day this Saturday if you haven't done so already. It promises to be a fascinating occasion, and the presence of the IVF pioneer, Professor Robert Edwards, will be interesting as it marks thirty years since the birth of the first IVF baby.

There are a huge range of speakers covering virtually every topic you can imagine. You can learn more about the latest developments in fertility treatment, about male and female fertility problems, about donor issues and complementary therapies. There are sessions on surrogacy, adoption and involuntary childlessness as well as assisted reproduction. I am going to be speaking about treatment overseas, and sharing the results of a survey on the subject that will be released tomorrow.

The day-long event is held in Covent Garden in central London, and costs just fifteen pounds. There will also be the opportunity to visit the exhibition stands run by organisations and clinics involved in the field, and to buy books from the bookstand.
