In this interactive session, delegates are invited to present a mini-poster describing a specific problem/trouble/issue they have or are encountering in their laboratories. Collectively, the expert team and the participants will investigate the problem and design a route for solving and preventing this (and other) problems in the future. Post Workshop, an overview paper describing the case reports will be published on the online Journal Faculty 1000 Research (Pub Med cited). Presenting delegates will be awarded co-authorship of the manuscript. Topic examples:
Since the last two days I am observing repetitive failed fertilisation in IVF but not in ICSI. Nothing changed in my procedures. How can this be?
I want to start using a new brand of ICSI dish. How do I validate them?
We are moving to a new operating theatre for our egg collections and embryo transfers. How do I validate this? What do I need to test?
I am a gynecologist and I want to start using cheaper embryo transfer catheters, but the embryologist claims they are toxic for the embryos. What to do?
I think that one my embryologists is performing poorly? How do I test in an objective way?
