In recent years patient care has become a very important factor for patients when it comes to choosing a fertility clinic, very often becoming a consideration as important as a medical one. As the first fertility patient care organization in Europe we want to support clinics in improving relations with their patients by offering training from some of the most esteemed European professionals engaged in fertility support and care. “We believe that participation in our training will increase the awareness of the importance of positive patients’ experience on their journey to parenthood.
Patient dropout has become a major concern for fertility clinics. Whilst fertility staff may believe everything is well organized and patient oriented, a considerable number of patients continue to drop out and discontinue treatment even when they are provided with reasonable opportunities for getting pregnant. In many cases, professionals assume that patients leave the clinic due to the psychological stress related to treatment, but scientific data confirms that it is not the main reason. In this course we will explore what actions can be taken to avoid dropouts and what can be improved within the clinic and the within the staff team.
This course aims to be interactive and in a live format. The programme includes 3 live hours, divided in 3 modules. It is recommended that at least one person from each department in the fertility clinic attends.
