Supper Club GP education

Hosted by Newlife IVF’s fertility specialists

Satisfy your tastebuds while learning a thing or two (or more) about the latest advances in fertility treatment and care.

Supper Club is an educational event available to general practitioners who wish to stay up to date with contemporary approaches to family-building care while enjoying a sumptuous dinner in a city location.

The seminars aim to educate GPs on the management of patients seeking fertility preservation or presenting with difficulties conceiving and the latest treatment options available. According to the Fertility Society of Australia and New Zealand, 1 in 6 couples have difficulty conceiving and parents are conceiving at an older age. GPs are the first line of care and are a trusted support and knowledge base for patients who need to be informed of current fertility treatments in this ever-changing and growing area of healthcare.

The seminars will cover egg freezing, fertility assessment and genetic testing and how these are used to improve patient outcomes.

Supper Club is a complimentary educational event, but RSVP is required as places are limited. This intimate, small group setting allows attendees to engage with our fertility experts and their peers, maximising the learning experience.

Feel free to pass this invitation on to your colleagues.

We hope to see you there!
