New this year: Delegates can also take advantage of the Main Congress & 1-Year ASPIRE Membership Bundle. This gives delegates full access to the congress along with a full year of ASPIRE membership, all in a single package.

That’s not all to look forward to. Delegates will also have the special opportunity to meet Louise Brown, the world’s first IVF baby, and be part of a milestone moment celebrating the remarkable journey and progress of assisted reproduction.

Don't miss out! Register early and join us in Japan.

We invite you to join us for an exciting webinar on Thursday 27 August exploring innovative treatments for uterine fibroids. The webinar will address the latest advances in the management of uterine fibroids featuring expert discussions on robotic myomectomy, fibroid ablation techniques and the evolving role of high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU).

As one of the most common gynaecologic conditions affecting women of reproductive age, uterine fibroids continue to pose significant challenges to fertility and quality of life. 

Understanding the expanding range of uterus preserving treatment options is essential for optimising reproductive and clinical outcomes. This educational webinar will provide a comprehensive review of contemporary fibroid management and the latest evidence guiding patient selection, treatment planning and clinical decision-making.

Professor Kyungah Jeong will discuss the role of robotic myomectomy with a focus on identifying ideal candidates, pre-operative planning, surgical considerations, expected clinical outcomes and the prevention and management of complications. The session will also highlight how robotic-assisted surgery facilitates meticulous uterine reconstruction while supporting future fertility.

Professor Aizura Adlan will examine the expanding role of fibroid ablation techniques covering patient selection, procedural planning, current evidence on treatment effectiveness and the reproductive implications of these minimally invasive therapies.

A highlight of the webinar will be an insightful presentation by Dr Zhang Lian on High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU), one of the most promising advances in non-invasive fibroid therapy. 

Participants will explore the principles of HIFU including MR-guided and ultrasound-guided approaches while gaining a deeper understanding of current indications, treatment planning, clinical outcomes, fertility considerations and future directions of this rapidly evolving technology.

The webinar will be co-chaired by Professor Chyi Long Lee and Professor Maria Antonia Habana bringing together experts to share practical insights and the latest advances in fertility-preserving fibroid management. 

Register now and join us on 27 August from 5:00pm to 6.30 pm for this timely discussion on the future of fibroid management. Discover how emerging technologies are transforming clinical practice while prioritising symptom relief, uterine preservation and reproductive potential.

Professor Maria Antonia Habana, MD, MSc

Over the past year the ASPIRE Nurses SIG has continued to focus on strengthening education, collaboration and engagement among fertility nurses across the Asia-Pacific region.

We recently launched our webinar series with Fundamentals of Male Reproduction featuring outstanding presentations from Dr Chui Ka Lun, Dr Deepak Modi and Professor Huang Zhongwei. 

The webinar was very well received and it reflects our commitment to delivering high-quality, accessible education for fertility nurses.

Building on this momentum, we are planning a series of webinars providing practical, evidence-based education relevant to everyday clinical practice. They will be designed to foster professional development and strengthen connections between nurses in our region. 

We also see these webinars as an important first step towards developing a sustainable educational library that may support an ASPIRE nursing education and certification pathway.

In addition to our educational activities, the SIG continues to explore ways to improve engagement across the region. We recognise that there are significant differences in health care systems, resources, language and professional development opportunities between countries. 

Therefore, we are considering initiatives including Regional Nurse Champions to help build stronger local connections, identify educational priorities and facilitate productive communication between nurses. 

Rather than expecting nurses to step immediately into formal committee roles, this approach aims to build relationships, encourage participation and create a greater sense of belonging within ASPIRE.

While committed to supporting fertility nurses through relevant education, collaboration and professional development, our SIG will continue to advocate for greater recognition of the essential role nurses play within reproductive medicine.
