Fertility Fest (360G-Wellcome-207461_Z_17_Z)
Fertility Fest – the world’s first arts festival dedicated to the science of making babies. Piloted in 2016, we want to deliver two more festivals creating a high profile platform of inspirational and provocative performances, exhibitions, discussion and debate related to fertility, infertility and assisted reproduction. The festivals will involve over 100 leading artists and fertility experts and will explore a wide spectrum of individual and societal issues including the impact of conceiving (or not) through an imperfect science; our responsibilities to the children born as a result; and how far we should go in pursuit of parenthood as the science develops. The festival is aimed at the wider public but key audiences include patients; fertility professionals; and young people who urgently need better fertility education. By 2020 we hope to achieve: * A high profile national discourse on fertility, infertility and assisted conception so that patients and the public have the opportunity to explore, debate and shape this science * Improved support and solidarity for patients of assisted conception so they feel less isolated and greater understanding of the emotional and ethical issues related to treatment with the aim of this leading to improvements in patient care and outcomes.
