In this episode, the penultimate episode that Kate is hosting, Kate is joined by Professor Tim Child.
Tim is Associate Professor of Reproductive Medicine at the University of Oxford. He has published more than 100 research papers, and has brought new treatments and techniques to the UK, increasing both the success and safety of fertility treatment.
In 2021, he was appointed by the Secretary of State for Health to the board of the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA), the UK’s regulator of assisted conception treatment and research. Tim Chairs its Scientific and Clinical Advances Advisory Committee (SCAAC), responsible for the IVF Add-Ons traffic light system.
And not only that but Kate and Tim worked together many moons ago in Oxford, and Tim was rather partial to Kate’s homemade strawberry cheese cake!
So, Tim is here to talk all things IVF Add-ons with us and I’m sure you’ll agree he’s absolutely best placed to do so!
Kate and Tim discuss exactly what are IVF add ons, whether you should be using them, how they are graded and the importance of making the right decision for you with as much information from your doctor as possible.
The pair also discuss the rise of misinformation on social media, how to filter through this fake information and where to find evidence based information. Go and take a look at Tim’s excellent Instagram account where he shares so much top quality information to help you along your fertility journey.
