Postcode lottery in the UK
Hello, I'm not a very experienced Reddit user so apologies if this kind of post isn't allowed but I'm a journalist in the UK looking into the provision of NHS IVF across the country, and the number of areas which offer just one cycle instead of the recommended three.
We are particularly interested in focusing on Oldham (or Greater Manchester more widely) because of its history with IVF and because GM recently cut provision in some areas which allowed three cycles in order to 'prevent a postcode lottery'.
I appreciate it's a bit of a needle in a haystack but I'm looking to speak to people in that area about their experience and how this has affected them, although I'm happy to hear from people anywhere in the UK who might be prepared to share their experience.
I understand this can be a really difficult topic so if it reassures you, I have lots of experience with complex and sensitive stories for reputable outlets. I'd be really happy to share more information about me and to answer any questions before anyone decides whether to talk to me or not - just send me a message. I'd also be really grateful for any thoughts/recommendations on local groups etc to contact.
Thanks so much for your consideration.
