E J Morris,

The role of the infertility nurse is continually expanding and changing to meet the demands of couples undergoing assisted reproduction. This article examines the responsibilities infertility nurses have in ovulation induction programmes in fertility clinics today. A simple questionnaire was sent to all fertility units listed in The Patients' Guide to DI and IVF Clinics. There was a response rate of 71%. Specialist infertility units had a higher number of nurses available to carry out various tasks within the fertility programme compared with other types of staff. Members of the nursing staff were involved in initial consultation, transvaginal ultrasound scanning, intrauterine inseminations, administration of medication, sperm preparation and pregnancy tests. Infertility nurses played a major role in ovulation induction programmes. In 39% of units, nurses performed intrauterine inseminations alone, in 23% of units they made decisions as to the requirement for human chorionic gonadotrophin administration, and in over 77% of units transvaginal scans were done by nurses. This role could be even broader, assuming adequate training is provided and undertaken. The extended role of infertility nurse practitioners allows more continuity of care and better understanding of patients' needs and results in the involvement of fewer people in the overall care.
