Management of male infertility

Infertility affects one in six couples, with male factors involved in around 30% of cases requiring assisted reproductive technology. GPs play a critical role in initial investigations, patient counselling, and appropriate referral — yet male infertility is often under-investigated and poorly understood in primary care. 

Managing male infertility is a new CPD course from Healthy Male, designed to equip GPs with the skills and knowledge to assess, manage and refer men presenting with fertility concerns.

• Men’s Health
