So exactly what does an embryologist do?
The 25th July is recognised as World Embryologist Day, the same special date as the world’s first IVF baby being born.
Embryologists play a critical role in an IVF clinic – they are the scientific staff who help make babies happen, literally creating life in their hands. They are sometimes referred to as the ‘caretakers’ of a patient’s sperm, eggs or embryos because they are the nurturers of this new start of life.

Fertility health is not just a women’s issue. In fact, up to 40 per cent of infertility issues are the result of a male factor.
While it may be worrying to hear that a male functional, hormonal or sperm problem might be contributing to a couple’s troubles conceiving, it is also important to understand they are common and there are many simple and effective treatments available to help conception occur.
