Bad news happens at all stages of fertility care and includes e.g., diagnosing infertility, reporting unexpected, repeated, or definitive treatment failure. Extensive evidence shows that SBN triggers stress in staff due to anticipation of negative emotions and evaluations or, in extreme cases, even complaints and lawsuits. Inability to manage bad news can increase negative emotions in patients and fuel distrust, potentially leading to treatment discontinuation. Efficient SBN training exists but does not address challenges of SBN in fertility care, does not meet fertility staff training and patient care preferences, and its impact on patients is unclear.\n\nfertiShare is a brief, evidence-based, e-Learning SBN course bespoke for fertility care. The aim of the study is to evaluate the feasibility of implementing fertiShare at fertility clinics and of implementing an online multi-centre RCT to determine fertiShare's efficacy. This will allow to conclude if fertiShare should proceed to efficacy evaluation.\n\nAn international interdisciplinary stakeholder group (patients, consultants, embryologists, nurses, psychologists, digital educators) will inform all aspects of the proposed project.",[144],"Infertility Assisted Reproductive Technology",[146,147,148,149],"sharing bad news","healthcare communication","assisted reproduction","infertility","2025-07-24",{"date":152,"type":153},"2025-07-29","ACTUAL",{"date":155,"type":153},"2024-10-08",{"date":157,"type":138},"2026-02-28",{"name":5,"class":6},5]
