🚨 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: lnkd.in/ecsqB4kS

📊 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.
