We know that the pressure of balancing fertility treatment and work can be stressful and that many patients are worried that having treatment will impact their performance at work as well as their career prospects. Many people don’t know their rights or how to start a conversation with their employer about taking time off for appointments.![]()

To help our patients, we have teamed up with Fertility Network UK to facilitate its ‘Fertility in the Workplace’ initiative. This programme aims to inform employers about the ways they can support their staff experiencing fertility issues and manage the impacts in the workplace. It also provides resources and practical support to employees.![]()

We have been reviewing how we can offer more flexibility with appointments and schedules, so patients are more in control of how and when to tell their employer about their treatment. We have been sharing our journey with Fertility Network UK and together we are developing resources to help other clinics become more patient-centric. This is called the ‘Clinic Pledge’.![]()
