Reading Time: 2 minutes

Everyone’s vision of their perfect family is unique, and at the Lister Fertility Clinics your dream is our passion. Choosing the right fertility clinic, one who’ll support you in achieving your dream, is the vital first step in building a partnership.

Lister Fertility Clinic at The Lister Hospital in Chelsea has seen over 20,000 ‘Lister’ babies born in the 35 years it’s been open, creating a family that spans the globe.

To support as many dreams as possible, in 2022 we opened Lister Fertility Clinic at The Portland Hospital, furthering the expertise we provide in the heart of London.

The Modern Family Show

We’re excited and honoured to feature our specialists at The Modern Family Show this year. It will be our first time at the show, and we’re really looking forward to meeting everyone. Throughout the day we’ll have some of our doctors, nurses, counsellors and embryologists at our stand, so bring along your questions or just drop by for a hello. Our Medical Directors, James Nicopoullos and Rehan Salim will be talking in some of the day’s panel discussions, so don’t miss them.

We’ll be on hand to talk through the treatments we offer, explain how treatments work and answer any of your questions about fertility treatment options. Even if you’re not ready yet to think about starting your family, we’re here to talk fertility health and have a range of materials you could take away about long-term planning options such as egg freezing. We’re looking forward to meeting you!

Our key treatments

At Lister Fertility Clinics we provide a range of fertility treatments. For patients who choose surrogacy, we provide a dedicated surrogacy doctor at both of our clinics as well as a dedicated lead who co-ordinates the whole process. We also offer reciprocal IVF, IUI, IMSI, egg freezing and egg donation.

Open-door counselling

We recognise how difficult it can be to cope with the emotional and psychological distress experienced routinely during fertility treatment, which at times can feel overwhelming. Research has shown that 90% of fertility patients experience symptoms of depression or anxiety relating to their fertility problems (Fertility Network UK 2016). That’s why we’re pleased to offer all our patients access to counselling with our dedicated team of counsellors, at no extra cost.

An inclusive clinic

We work closely with organisations such as TwoDadsUK and My Surrogacy Journey to ensure we provide a welcoming environment for all. We pride ourselves on our inclusive approach to care, building tailored pathways to suit your needs. Our pathways have been developed in close collaboration with our partners, ensuring they’re informed by feedback from real people who’ve undergone surrogacy, fertility treatments and more. If, at any time, you want additional support or have any suggestions about how we can improve, we’re here to listen.

We’re really looking forward to seeing you at The Modern Family Show. Please come along and say hi to our team!
