We inspect all clinics against our standards. This clinic's inspection rating is:

Overall score for 5

5 / 5

All clinics must have a licence to operate. Our inspectors visit the clinic and look at the laboratory and equipment, the clinic’s consent and other procedures and the patient information. We also interview patients for their views. We use the inspector’s assessment to decide how long the licence should be. This determines the rating.

Last inspection: 18 May 2017

Licensed until: 25 November 2018

We collect data about the treatments clinics carry out. See this clinic’s latest statistics below.

Find out this clinic’s IVF/ICSI rates for births per embryo transferred, births per egg collection and multiple births.

Births per embryo transferred

We present births per embryo transferred (rather than births per cycle) because fertility professionals say it’s the best measure of a clinic’s success and it allows you to make a fair comparison between clinics. Remember, it can’t tell you your individual chance of success (only your doctor can do that); but it does give a fair overall view of their performance. 

Births per egg collection

This rate shows the chance of success from all the fresh and frozen embryo transfers within two years of one egg collection. Whilst births per embryo gives you an indication of success rates for just one embryo transfer, births per egg collection gives an overall picture of success rates for a full course of treatment (which can include one fresh and a number of frozen transfers). 

Multiple birth rates

For some people, having twins may seem like a wonderful thing, but multiple pregnancies are much less safe for both mother and babies. That’s why we’ve set a target for all clinics to have a multiple birth rate of 10% or lower – see how well they’re performing below.

  • National rate
  • Reliability range

Below national average Information: Taking into account the number of cycles or embryos in the calculation, this shows whether the clinic's rate is below, consistent with or above the rate for all clinics across the UK. Small differences between clinics' rates often do not reflect any real difference in performance.

The birth rate is based on

** The number is fewer than 10 so has been removed to avoid the risk of identifying patients.

National rate

It may be tempting to obsess over success rates, but the most important thing to focus on is whether the clinic’s results are consistent with the national average. Try not to read anything into differences of few percentage points, as these are often down to chance rather than being a reflection of a clinic’s abilities. 

Reliability range

The reliability range shows how confident we are that a clinic will repeat its success rate in the future – the narrower the range, the more confident we can be. Large clinics normally have a narrower reliability range. That’s not because their data is more accurate but because their rate is less likely to be affected by small changes in the number of births in one year. Small clinics aren’t worse but their success rate is more likely to be affected by these kinds of changes.
