Paediatric and adolescent fertility preservation procedural training and service provision: a qualitative study exploring views of clinicians in Australia and New Zealand
Topic overview
This qualitative study examines clinician perspectives on fertility preservation services for pediatric and adolescent patients in Australia and New Zealand. Researchers identify training gaps, procedural barriers, and opportunities to improve care delivery as demand for gamete and gonadal tissue preservation grows in young cancer patients and others facing fertility-threatening treatments.
Key takeaways
- Paediatric fertility preservation demand is rising, but best practices for gamete and gonadal tissue handling remain poorly defined.
- Clinicians identify significant training gaps in paediatric FP procedures across medical and laboratory staff.
- Multiple barriers exist along the FP pathway from referral to tissue storage, hindering optimal service delivery.
- Standardized protocols and specialized training programs are needed to improve paediatric FP service quality.
- Multidisciplinary collaboration between oncology, reproductive medicine, and surgery is essential for effective FP programs.
