This episode aims to highlight our 'Infertility Support' category giving you a taster of several episodes. Firstly, to highlight the #fertilityinequalities theme, of day 1 of  Fertility Awareness Week UK, we wanted to share our conversation with Dr. Christine Eketchi who spoke about the ethnic disparity of health outcomes among Black and Asian women in the UK and the issue of fertility education and infertility, from her own experience. We discussed why there are so few BAME women listed in the HFEA research in 2018 actually accessing fertility treatment and what can be done about it.   Listen to the full episode
