HCA Healthcare UK’s Lister Fertility Clinic has opened a fertility centre at The Portland Hospital in central London.
It is the second location in the capital and will provide an array of fertility care to patients, with a specific focus on IVF.
This will include initial and follow-up fertility and gynaecology consultations, scans, ovulation induction, cycle monitoring, IUI, FET cycles and blood tests, as well as performing egg retrieval and embryo transfer.
The hospital group said the launch followed increased demand for fertility care and treatment.
Since opening the Lister Hospital in Chelsea in 1988 it has seen more than 20,200 babies born and now performs approximately 2,400 fresh cycles of IVF each year.
Rehan Salim, consultant gynaecologist and specialist in reproductive medicine, is joining the team to lead the operation after more than 20 years’ experience in the NHS.
Salim said: “As one of the leading IVF clinics in the world, I am delighted to be part of the Lister Fertility Clinic’s latest expansion and contribution to its success going forward.
“There is a growing demand for fertility services within central London and so the new clinic at The Portland Hospital offers a hugely exciting opportunity to further extend the expertise of Lister Fertility Clinic so that even more patients can benefit from its services.”
Suzy Canham, chief executive officer of Lister Fertility Clinic, added: “The new centre encompasses every part of the fertility care and treatment process.”
