Survey of fertility counselling provision in UK licensed treatment centres during the first phase of the COVID-19 pandemic.

A survey of UK fertility counsellors' experiences of the impact on their service, including its availability, during the first phase of the COVID-19 pandemic in the spring of 2020 received 64 responses. Fifty three respondents had continued to provide a service. Forty now worked from a wholly/substantially different location to normal but many clinics provided no practical support for this ( = 17), or remote access to relevant clinic ( = 17) or client information ( = 12) and twenty five respondents reported reduced multi-disciplinary involvement.
