Congratulations to Ferring’s Chief Legal Officer team, who were recognised at The Lawyer European awards ceremony in London last week. Curt McDaniel, Ferring’s Chief Legal Officer, won the General Counsel of the Year award. Adding to this success, the team received third place for In-house Team of the Year. These recognitions reflect the team’s collaborative and innovative approach to legal services.

Netflix’s new film 'Joy' tells the story of the 10-year journey of nurse and embryologist Jean Purdy, physiologist Robert Edwards, and obstetrician and gynaecologist Patrick Steptoe to the first successful IVF pregnancy and birth of Louise Joy Brown. What was a controversial scientific endeavour at the time, has since helped build over 12 million families. In the years since Louise’s birth, we have seen families of every shape and size being built through IVF. Just this week the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) reported that the number of single women in the UK undergoing fertility treatment has trebled in a decade, and the number of women having fertility treatment as part of same-sex couples has more than doubled. We hope this film is a reminder to many of how far we have come towards overcoming fertility challenges and drives conversations around the barriers to the access of fertility services that still exist today. 

We were delighted to attend and sponsor RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association’s Night of Hope Gala. The event raised awareness of the barriers to family building in the United States and celebrated those advocating for better access to care. We were honoured to be a part of this special event.  Congratulations to RESOLVE on 50 years of unwavering advocacy! We look forward to continuing our partnership to champion family building.

Today, on International Men’s Day, we’re highlighting an important yet often overlooked aspect of men’s health: fertility and family-building. Although often perceived as a women’s issue, infertility affects men and women alike, with male factors contributing to up to 50% of fertility challenges in heterosexual relationships. Unfortunately, stigma and lack of awareness often prevent men from seeking the support they need which can leave them feeling embarrassed or ashamed. This silence can delay treatment and create unnecessary struggles. It’s time to change the conversation. Let’s break the stigma surrounding male fertility by encouraging open conversations, educating men on their reproductive health and providing support to help them navigate their family-building journeys. Let’s make fertility a topic everyone can talk about. #InternationalMensDay #MensHealth #FertilityAwareness #FamilyBuilding #FertilityOutLoud #ProjectFamily

This week marks European Fertility Week, an important time to recognise the impact of infertility and the barriers many face in accessing fertility support. Globally, 1 in 6 people are affected by infertility. Despite these high numbers, there are still several challenges which exist when it comes to accessing care - from financial constraints to inadequate support and lack of information. This is the case in Europe, and around the world. For some communities these barriers can be heightened, highlighting the need for inclusive and equitable fertility care to reduce disparities. The newly launched European Coalition for Fertility aims to address these challenges and ensure equitable access, comprehensive sex education, and family planning support for all. Here at Ferring, we share this vision and believe in a future where no one is left behind on their path to parenthood. We remain committed as ever to helping build families of every shape and size. #EuropeanFertilityWeek #FertilityAwareness #CoalitionforFertility #FertilityMatters
