The Fertility Partnership (TFP), the UK’s largest fertility services provider, has signed a new contract with the three clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) in Hertfordshire and West Essex to provide NHS funded IVF treatment at its TFP Boston Place Fertility, London, TFP Oxford Fertility, Oxford and TFP Simply Fertility, Chelmsford, clinics.
From the 1st May 2021, eligible patients within the East and North Hertfordshire, Herts Valleys and West Essex CCG areas will be able to select one of TFP clinics for their treatment.
Hannah Smyth, Regional General Manager for TFP Greater London says, “We’re thrilled to be able to extend our human approach to fertility treatment to those within Hertfordshire and West Essex at our London, Chelmsford and Oxford clinics. Our team of internationally renowned clinicians are looking forward to providing these patients with the support they need throughout their fertility journey.”
The extension of this funding to selected clinics will allow those who meet their CCG’s eligibility criteria to connect with fertility specialists, once referred, who can offer information to help patients select the right clinic for them and understand their fertility better before beginning their journey.
TFP’s mission is to create lives and change lives. However, for patients who do not meet the NHS eligibility criteria or require further treatment after their funded cycle they can self-fund their treatment with TFP.
