Review BMI use in NHS care and school health assessments
We ask the Government to undertake a review of the suitability of using BMI in NHS care and school health assessments, with a view to ensuring that NHS and educational health practices are fit for the 21st century and align with modern, evidence-based tools that truly support wellbeing.
Review criteria for fertility referrals on the NHS and fund research into PCOS
We want a review into NHS fertility guidelines to consider how people with PCOS and a BMI over 35 can access fertility referrals. We also want the Government to fund more research into PCOS, including causes, treatment, and finding a cure for this life-impacting condition.
Review NHS cancer treatment protocols
We want a review of the NHS cancer treatment protocols, including awareness and use of drugs not commonly used for cancer treatment but repurposed (so called off label drugs), and supplements.
Fund AMH testing in the NHS and improve IVF access for low AMH women
Fund AMH testing as part of standard NHS fertility checks. Provide NHS IVF funding for women with low AMH, regardless of age or partner’s parental status. Allow patients to stop a cycle with less than 3 follicles without losing NHS entitlement.
