Susan Seenan, CEO of Infertility Network UK explains what the charity offers people who are going through infertility treatment or just embarking on their fertility journey.
About Susan:
Susan Seenan is Chief Executive of the patient charity Infertility Network UK – the only national charity in the UK which supports anyone experiencing fertility issues. Having experienced first-hand the rollercoaster of infertility and treatment, she understands completely what it’s like to discover that having a family is not as always that simple, and passionately believes that eligibility for NHS fertility treatment should not depend on postcode. A strong advocate of emotional support and counseling for everyone struggling to conceive, her mission is to change the conversation and get people talking about fertility issues, help promote a better understanding of the options which exist, and highlight the extent and impact that infertility can have on people’s lives.
