22nd November
The NHS in the East Midlands is reviewing how people can access fertility treatments. The aim is to create a standardised approach to fertility treatment across the region.
Currently, there are differences in the way people can access fertility treatments. The review addresses these differences in access, such as age, BMI, and the number of treatment cycles available between Bassetlaw and the rest of Nottingham and Nottinghamshire. It also considers access for same-sex couples, individuals with children from previous relationships, and single people.
This is your opportunity to share your thoughts and help shape the future of fertility services in the East Midlands to ensure that the new policy best serves our population.
The engagement period will run from 11th November 2024 to 10th January 2025. All feedback will be used to influence the final policy. We will make sure to communicate what steps we have taken following the engagement with you and your communities.
You can get involved in a number of ways:
