Working with the NHS across England
CREATE Fertility hold contracts with NHS ICBs (the organisations who decide how local NHS budgets are spent) in most regions across England. If we hold a contract with your local ICB, you can be referred to our clinics for NHS-funded IVF treatment, which is delivered in line with NICE guidelines.
Our directors are pioneers in the field of IVF, Reproductive Medicine, and Advanced Ultrasound Technology with decades of combined experience. You can view our scientific research here.
This advanced technology can assist in predicting ovarian reserve, egg quality, ovarian response to stimulation, implantation & risk of miscarriage, helps us to individualise treatment protocols and optimise success.
We work with many CCGs across England and we utilise the latest in evidence-based treatment to give patients the best chance of conceiving and having a baby.
"CREATE Fertility is proud to have an excellent track record in safety and success in IVF. We take huge pride in delivering our IVF service to NHS funded patients, and we welcome couples who wish to make use of our advanced ultrasound technology and state-of-the-art facilities."
Professor Geeta Nargund, Founder and Medical Director - CREATE Fertility
Whether you can receive NHS funding for your IVF or fertility treatment is ultimately decided by your local Integrated Care Board (ICB). However, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has set out a series of guidelines about who should receive NHS-funded treatment, and how much.
What does NHS funding involve and how do I apply for IVF on the NHS?
Based on NHS IVF criteria, you will be given a full list of IVF clinics approved by your ICB and available for referral. If CREATE Fertility is an available option then you can choose us, and then you can proceed with a consultation and treatment.

Referral
Your referral will be sent to us and we will process it to ensure you are eligible.
We’ll get in touch
If eligible, we will contact you within a few days to book your Advanced Ultrasound Scan and Consultation.
Advanced ultrasound scan
You'll come to your chosen clinic and have your advanced ultrasound scan which looks at:
Your egg reserve - looking at the antral follicle count.
The health of your uterus and ovaries - by examining the blood flow to each.
The quality of your eggs - blood flow to the ovaries and follicles gives indirect information about the quality of your eggs.
Polyps, fibroids - or other factors that could be affecting implantation or causing miscarriages.
Consultation
Depending on your clinic, you may have your consultation in clinic at the same time as your ultrasound scan, or you may have it virtually a few days later. You will be informed of this when booking.
During your consultation, the consultant will talk through your scan results, medical history, any previous tests, answer your questions and then give you a personalised treatment plan designed to maximise your chance of success.
Talk with your Patient Coordinator
After your Consultation you will have time with your Patient Coordinator, who will outline your personalised treatment plan and next steps.
Your Patient Coordinator is here to support you throughout your whole journey, so please let them know if you have any queries or concerns.
Success rates explained
Understanding success rates can be difficult, which is why we are committed to being as transparent as possible. After assessing your medical circumstances at your first appointment, we will give you a personalised treatment plan and success rate. Our personalised treatment protocols at CREATE deliver successful results whilst also protecting the health of women and babies.
Professor Campbell has pioneered the use of ultrasound to provide a detailed and accurate insight into fertility.
Our scan checks over 30 areas of your fertility, and you will always receive the results of the test on the day. These will be explained to you by your clinician who can answer any questions you might have.
Our 3D Doppler ultrasound scan is the foundation of our approach. Whilst we can identify different types of complex fertility issues using the our advanced ultrasound scan, we will also advise you on how we can help.
If your are eligible for NHS-funded IVF, but we do not have a contract with your local ICB, you may be able to transfer your funding to CREATE Fertility. Different ICBs have varying policies with regards to transferring funding and they will make the decision as to whether you can have NHS-funded treatment with us. Usually, you will need to have a strong clinical reason to transfer funding to CREATE Fertility and you will need to apply for a transfer before any treatment has started with the ICB's usual NHS provider.
Funding options if you are not eligible for NHS fertility treatment
If you cannot get NHS IVF treatment and your only option is to grow your family through self-funded treatment, we can still help. We offer our patients affordable payment plans, to help make growing your family less stressful and more manageable.
