ESHRE releases new textbook for paramedics in the field of reproductive medicine

The European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology has published the first textbook for paramedics in the field of reproductive medicine in the English language

The European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) has published the first textbook for paramedics in the field of reproductive medicine in the English language.

A Dutch textbook, in layout and depth of knowledge suitable for paramedics and for use in higher professional education (Master's level), was the basis for this European textbook. It is the first to be written for nurses working in reproductive health.

For a net price of EUR 30 (excl. shipment and VAT) you can purchase this book through the ESHRE website at http://www.eshre.eu/page.aspx/1183. You can pay with either credit card or bank transfer.

The practice of reproductive medicine would not be possible without the paramedical staff. The past decade has seen the professional role of the specialist nurse evolve, through the development of evidence-based protocols and a greater involvement in research. The continuing education of nurses is important to maintain this momentum and improve standards of care.

More and more nurses are now specialising in just one field of medicine, and in such cases a basic nursing education is not enough to support the development of care in a specialty such as reproductive health. ESHRE is proud to fill the gap in the education of nurses in reproduction with the development of this textbook. This book provides an overview of all the important issues - and junior doctors and lab technicians have also found it invaluable.
