Fertility Clinic

Worcestershire Fertility is run in Southbank Worcester as a satellite clinic to the highly respected Oxford Fertility clinic. By providing this satellite clinic much of your treatment can be provided locally for you. Worcestershire Fertility is run by Mr Jon Hughes who is the fertility lead for NHS patients in Worcestershire; the clinic is also staffed by highly experienced nurses. All members of the team work closely with Oxford Fertility, ensuring good communication and an excellent standard of compassionate care.

Investigations and treatments are conducted in line with Oxford’s protocols and all scan and blood test results are discussed with the Oxford team daily. There is no difference in your chances of having a baby whether you are seen in Worcester or Oxford but Worcestershire Fertility will provide more convenient appointments for you.

There will be an initial consultation at Worcestershire Fertility with Mr Hughes in either South bank Hospital Worcester or The Spire Clinic, Droitwich Spa.

At Worcestershire Fertility we are able to perform investigations such as ultrasound scans, blood tests of ovulation (egg production), hormone profiles and fallopian tube testing (HyCoSy) If sperm testing is required this will be carried out in Oxford.

All of the investigations and treatments offered by Oxford Fertility can be arranged by Worcestershire Fertility. These include fertility assessments for couples worried they may have difficulty conceiving, ovulation induction for women with polycystic ovarian syndrome, fresh IVF/ICSI cycles, frozen embryo replacement cycles, intra-uterine insemination (IUI) and donor insemination (DI).

Complex fertility treatments (such as IVF) can involve up to ten visits to a fertility centre for investigations and treatment. At Worcestershire Fertility we aim to carry out most of these visits in Worcester, providing a friendly local service and minimising inconvenience to you. Even with the most complicated treatments, most couples will only need to attend the central unit in Oxford three times. Although the details can vary for most couples, these three visits will usually be to provide a sperm sample/visit the nurse, for collection of the eggs and embryo transfer.

The Worcester service is available to all self-funding patients.

NHS patients from Herefordshire or Gloucestershire who require complex assisted conception treatments can also have their treatment if eligible. Unfortunately at present Worcestershire NHS patients cannot be treated by Worcestershire Fertility.

All of our prices are set by Oxford Fertility and can be reviewed on their website Oxford Fertility.

Finance packages are available that can refund or discount the cost if two to three courses of IVF are required Finance Packages

Egg sharing is an option which can reduce the cost of IVF (Egg sharing).
