By Mr. Rehan Salim, Medical Director, Lister Fertility Clinic at The Portland Hospital

At Lister Fertility Clinic, we’re more than just a clinic – we’re a family dedicated to helping you build yours. We are proud to partner with TwoDadsUK, whose commitment to raising awareness of same-sex parenting aligns with our inclusive approach to fertility treatment for all family types.

Hospital-Linked Care

Lister Fertility Clinic at The Portland Hospital is based within our private hospital in the heart of London. This location allows us to provide comprehensive, in-house support for all aspects of fertility care, from initial consultations through to surgery, with no need to outsource. Patients benefit from a seamless experience, ensuring continuity of care and the highest standard of medical oversight.

Our in-house capabilities make us especially well-suited for patients requiring advanced care, and we are fully equipped to manage more complex cases that may not be supported by other clinics. In fact, around 10% of our patients come to us after being turned away elsewhere due to the complexity of their needs. We’re able to support these patients thanks to our clinical expertise, state-of-the-art facilities, and our access to The Portland Hospital’s resources, from surgical theatres to highly specialised care units.

Expertise and Credentials: A Team You Can Trust

Quality and expertise are at the heart of everything we do. Every one of our consultants, embryologists, and nurses is GMC-accredited, ensuring that our patients receive care that meets the highest professional standards. Additionally, all of our senior embryologists, lab technicians, and lab administrators hold master’s degrees, highlighting their dedication to advancing fertility science and supporting our patients. When you choose our clinic, you’re choosing a team of experienced, highly trained specialists committed to delivering the best possible outcomes.

Comprehensive and Compassionate Care for All Families

We believe that everyone deserves the chance to build a family, and we are here to support all patients, whether from traditional, same-sex, or single-parent households on their journey. Our team’s goal is to provide personalised, compassionate care that respects each family’s unique path and challenges.

Building Families, Breaking Barriers

Our clinic’s focus goes beyond just medical treatment. We’re also on a mission to help break down the barriers and stigmas surrounding fertility and family building. Whether it’s working with partners like TwoDadsUK or providing specialised counselling for LGBTQ+ patients, we are here to make the journey to parenthood as inclusive, accessible, and supportive as possible.
