Amber Izzo and Katie Rollings on ending the IVF postcode lottery

About this episode

Amber Izzo and Katie Rollings discuss their campaign to end the IVF postcode lottery and share insights on reproductive health.

We've heard some heart-breaking stories about the IVF postcode lottery - people who've aged out of their ICB's limit as they tried to lose weight to start IVF, couples who aren't allowed NHS-funded IVF because one person has a child from a former relationship. Amber Izzo and Katie Rollings want to do something about that. Today we talk to them about their campaign to end the postcode lottery, and how you can get involved. Prof Tim is talking about Ayurvedic medicine. Dov Fox has an audiobook! It's called Donor 9623, and it's about a reproductive hoax. You can find it at https://www.audible.com/podcast/Donor-9623-Part-One/B08GC5KWW8 , and part two at https://www.audible.com/podcast/Donor-9623-Part-Two/B0C62FFNL4 . Hosted on Acast.
