COURSE COORDINATORS
Uschi Van den Broeck (Belgium) and So a Gameiro (Portugal)
COURSE DESCRIPTION
Over the past decades, infertility counselling has become a specialist area in medically assisted reproduction and more widespread among countries and centres. This course will focus on some of the more complex cases in infertility counselling that challenge medical as well as mental health professionals in their own thoughts and practices. Where does technology lead us and how do we translate this in talking to our patients? Where do we nd ourselves in these new territories?
Are there boundaries? The course is dedicated to focus on “dif cult” issues such as posthumous conception, incidental ndings, third party reproduction, sexual aspects, fertility preservation and so on.
TARGET AUDIENCE
Psychologists, mental health professionals, nurses, physicians, ethicists, ...
EDUCATIONAL NEEDS AND EXPECTED OUTCOMES
This course is designed to provide the latest evidence (if any) as well as tools to tackle complex cases in the eld of infertility counselling. It will promote discussion and elucidate relevant ethical and societal questions.
In previous years, members of the SIG Psychology and Counselling have speci cally asked for PCC that focus on clinical aspects and case work. This course is therefore in follow-up of the educational need identi ed by participants at a previous ESHRE meeting.
At the end of this course the participant should be aware of the counselling challenges and have a framework to consider complex cases concerning posthumous conception, incidental ndings, third party reproduction, sexual aspects and fertility preservation.
