Training and education

The Hull IVF Unit is proud to be involved in the training and education of future health professionals.

We regularly employ dedicated and skilled individuals as trainee embryologists. These individuals undergo a rigorous training programme to achieve their qualification, combining practical-based laboratory work with study. Our trainees bring vibrancy and innovation to the team and help ensure that our knowledge base at the Unit is as up-to-date as possible. Once qualified, our embryologists continually build on their skills via training courses and conferences.

For more information about training as an embryologist, please see the Clinical Embryologist page on the NHS Careers website.

We also frequently run training courses for medical students from the Hull York Medical School (HYMS). By doing this, we hope to bring a greater awareness of the importance of fertility issues to the medical profession.

For more information, please see the HYMS website.

In addition, our team at the Unit is heavily involved in research to improve fertility services and maximise the success of future fertility treatment.
