Welcome to the Assisted Conception Unit, part of the integrated fertility services offered by Birmingham Women’s Healthcare Trust. We aim to support you with guidance and counselling through every step of your care as we understand only too well the emotional intensity associated with fertility treatment. We are proud of our medical and scientific skills and the experience of our staff, but also of the friendly atmosphere you will encounter.

We now offer the most advanced laboratory facilities in the Midlands, and this is reflected in our current results. We are also one of only two Assisted Conception Units in the country based in a dedicated women’s hospital, giving you continuity of care from diagnosis to delivery.

By tailoring your treatment specifically to your clinical needs we aim to give you the best chance of success. Supported by an active research programme we are constantly looking for ways of improving diagnosis and treatment, and we have particular expertise in the diagnosis and treatment of male infertility.

You can also help us to improve our service by giving us feedback about your experience. Let us know what you liked, and what we could do better. Help us to do our best for you.
