Recent research indicates that fertility clinic websites serve as the primary source of information for patients regarding their treatments, including add-ons. However, analyses of these clinic websites reveal that the information provided is often inconsistent and outdated, and frequently partial, overstating benefits and minimising risks. The workshop discussion has centred on enhancing the quality of information available on clinic websites, their role in delivering information to patients, and strategies for managing patient expectations regarding the presentation of information.
