Fertility patterns are changing globally, with patients delaying childbearing and increasingly relying on assisted reproductive technologies. Age remains the single most important predictor of fertility decline, particularly in women, but male age and broader health factors are also increasingly recognised.
Designed for primary care, this course equips clinicians with a structured approach to fertility assessment and helps guide conversations with patients about timing, risk, and referral pathways.
This course explores:
-
The biological impact of ageing on oocyte quantity and quality
-
Understanding the role of emerging therapies in weight and diabetes management
-
The role of lifestyle, environmental, and medical factors on fertility
-
Key conditions affecting fertility, including PCOS, endometriosis, and genetic disorders
-
The importance of early identification and intervention in general practice
-
Practical approaches to fertility workup, including ovarian reserve testing (AMH, AFC)
