Reproductive medicine is an expanding field. It is at the forefront of emerging medico-scientific technology offering hope to many needy couples, and career opportunities to those with demonstrable skills and knowledge.

In addition there are similar specialisations emerging in nursing and counselling, and amongst biological scientists.
