A little bit about us

The Assisted Conception Unit at Birmingham Women’s Hospital, has been providing a high standard of care to couples experiencing fertility problems for the last 25 years. It is the only unit of its type in Birmingham which is based in a NHS hospital. The Unit is licensed by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority.

Due to our location, we are able to provide a full range of fertility, gynaecology and obstetrics services from the diagnosis of infertility, right through to the delivery of your baby (if your fertility treatment is successful). If you wish, all of this can be achieved on one site here at “The Women’s.”  

Part of our Integrated Fertility Services ethos is The Centre for Human Reproductive Science (ChRS), which maintains strong links with the researchers worldwide including from Sweden, Germany, and within the UK at Universities of Aston, Birmingham, Cambridge, Leicester and Kent. This enables us to be actively involved at the cutting edge of the development of fertility treatment. We are currently working very closely with these colleagues in respect of a number of research programmes.
