GP Consultation Guide

Our Fertility Consultation Guide is a free, printable educational resource. It provides practical information and a step-by-step guide to help your fertility consultations. Including information to seek from patients, a calculator for the fertility window, and a guide to fertility investigations, this guide will assist your consultations in a practical way.
