European cross-border reproductive care

Françoise Shenfield is a Fertility Medicine Specialist and a Clinical Lecturer at UCL. Over her thirty-year career, she has focused on international fertility services and especially the ethics of cross-border reproductive care.

Here, she talks about how the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE), has been working over the last 30 years to increase our knowledge of cross-border assisted reproduction and the safety of fertility services in Europe and internationally.
