Breast Cancer and BRCA Genes: The Impact on Fertility

October is breast cancer awareness month, designed to promote widespread education about one of the most common cancer diagnoses. In fact, it is the most common cancer in women, or people assigned female at birth, with around 56,000 cases diagnosed annually in the UK. Therefore, each year during October fundraising projects take place such as the ‘wear it pink’ campaign where people don pink clothing or a pink ribbon to symbolise solidarity with breast cancer patients and to raise money for cancer research.

World Contraception Day & Reproductive Choice

World Contraception Day takes place annually on 26 September. It was launched in 2007 as a global campaign to raise awareness about contraception and empower proactive management of sexual and reproductive health and family planning. However, access to contraception and its use are governed by a range of legal, political, religious, health and lifestyle factors and varying degrees of regulation, restrictions and uptake around the world. As such, the benefits and challenges associated with contraception raise a number of issues and create variable outcomes in practice, particularly in terms of women's bodily autonomy and ability to make informed and independent choices about their lives, health, fertility and the conception and birth of children.

National Rainbow Baby Day 2025

This year National Rainbow Baby Day takes place on 22 August 2025. A ‘Rainbow Baby’ is a child born after a family loses a baby and this special child is often seen a symbol of new hope for a family that has experienced such traumatic loss. Established in 2018, National Rainbow Baby Day honours those babies lost to stillbirth, miscarriage, complications during pregnancy or following birth, all the while celebrating the Rainbow Babies who bring such joy to the lives of their family and parents. National Rainbow Baby Day is an opportunity for families to reflect on their children, those who are with them physically, and those who will forever be with them in spirit.
