IVF Consultation Partner Toolkit

NHS Greater Manchester are consulting on the number of NHS Funded IVF Cycles available across Greater Manchester

You can find out more about the consultation and get involved on the consultation webpage.

Can you help us?

We want as many people as possible to get involved in the consultation and share their views on a proposal to offer a consistent IVF treatment policy across all ten Greater Manchester boroughs, ending the current variation in the number of cycles offered. At present, people living just a few miles apart may be entitled to a different number of NHS-funded IVF cycles, from one to three, based purely on where their GP practice is based.

NHS Greater Manchester is proposing a new, standardised approach to address this inequality and ensure it's fair for all.

We are particularly interested in hearing from people with lived experience of the services of using IVF services, and any help you can give us to reach them will be hugely appreciated.

On this page, you can find resources that will support you and your organisation should you be able to help us to promote the consultation and involve people.

This includes:

• Suggested wording for newsletters (in the toolkit)
• Suggested wording for texts (in the toolkit)
• Links to our social media profiles where you can find and share our posts
• A presentation that can be used for workshops and focus groups
• A poster (contact us to request printed copies)
• An easy read poster
• A postcard (contact us to request printed copies)

There is also space for you to share any feedback you get directly - should you get any. There is an online form, and a pdf that can be downloaded, written on, and email it back to us if you prefer.

If you have any questions, please contact us.

Thank you so much for your help!
