About the event

Fertility treatment can be an emotional and logistical challenge for employees and line managers play a crucial role in creating understanding and flexibility during this time.

In this month’s Ask the Expert session, James Nicopoullos, Medical Director at Lister Fertility Clinic and IVFN Advisory Board Member, will demystify IVF from when it’s recommended and what the process involves, to the realities of appointments, timelines, and emotional demands. He will also provide expert advice on treatment preparation, egg freezing considerations, and ways to support reproductive health.

We’ll explore how managers can support their teams with sensitivity, discretion, and practical understanding, ensuring that individuals going through treatment feel included, respected, and able to manage work alongside their personal journey.

This session offers practical insight, real-world guidance, and the opportunity to ask questions in a safe, informative space for leaders who want to better support their people.
