Making a referral

We accept referrals from GPs and other hospital doctors for NHS funded IVF. NHS funding may be available for patients who meet the specific criteria of their local integrated care boards (ICBs). Each ICB has set criteria and will fund different levels of treatment.

It usually takes up to 6 weeks for the funding application process.

All people referred by a GP or hospital will be assessed for NHS funding once an initial registration questionnaire has been returned. We'll apply for funding on their behalf and will complete the documents needed as part of the application.

The number of cycles funded is different for each ICB. Usually 1 to 3 cycle treatments will be funded on the NHS.
