New Leeds fertility centre officially opens
A new £3.3m fertility centre which is one of the largest in the UK has officially opened in Leeds.
Former facilities at Leeds Infirmary and St James's, have now been combined to create the Leeds Centre for Reproductive Medicine.
This is one of the largest in the UK, providing approximately 2,000 IVF treatment cycles a year and will improve care for fertility patients.
Mike Collier CBE, chairman of the Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, officially opened the new facility at Seacroft Hospital where two former wards have been transformed to house the service which will serve Leeds and West Yorkshire.
The new facility also offers a full range of regional services for a large part of the north of England, treating both NHS contracts and self-funding patients.
Professor Adam Balen said: "We have an international reputation for world-class research ranging from the basic science of egg and embryo development, to the management of conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome and the preservation of fertility for women about to undergo cancer therapy."
