Fertility
The Fertility Service provides comprehensive medical and surgical investigation. We see couples experiencing infertility or problems getting pregnant. The desire to have a child is natural and conceiving a child may seem like the easiest thing in the world to some couples. For other couples, infertility can affect your work, sexuality, relationship and even your lifestyle.

Eligibility criteria for IVF/ICSI treatment on the NHS
All criteria is subject to change every financial year, therefore it is important to check with each CCG first. If you need to know the eligibility criteria for the surrounding CCGs you can ring the fertility nurses, check online or check with your GP.
