The BFS Reproductive Medicine Regional Seminar in Leeds is designed to provide a high-level update on the rapidly evolving landscape of assisted reproductive technology (ART). Held at the modern Horizon Leeds venue, this one-day seminar brings together the North of England’s fertility community to discuss regional challenges and global breakthroughs. The program is curated to address the most pressing issues facing clinics today, from the optimization of ovarian stimulation protocols to the ethical considerations of emerging genomic technologies.
The seminar begins with a keynote address on the "State of the Nation" in UK fertility care, highlighting recent HFEA data and what it means for clinical practice in Yorkshire and beyond. Following the keynote, sessions will dive into the science of embryo selection, including the latest findings on time-lapse imaging and non-invasive pre-implantation genetic testing (niPGT). These technical discussions are balanced with sessions on patient-centered care, focusing on how to improve the overall patient experience and manage expectations throughout the IVF journey.
A major focus of the 2026 seminar will be "Sustainability in the Fertility Clinic." Experts will lead a panel discussion on how to reduce the environmental footprint of ART without compromising clinical outcomes. This includes waste management in the lab and the carbon footprint of medical supplies. The afternoon will feature breakout sessions where attendees can discuss specific regional audit results and share best practices for improving pregnancy rates and reducing multiple birth rates. This seminar is more than just a series of lectures; it is a forum for collaboration and peer support, ensuring that practitioners in the Leeds area remain at the forefront of reproductive excellence.
