Privately Funding Your Treatment
How the referral process works
At iTrust we realise that fertility treatment can be a stressful process. Ours clinic offers a very unique model of care where you are seen throughout your treatment by your consultant. With privately funded consultant-led treatment, you can select which consultant you would like to deliver your care.
By having direct access to your consultant and the rest of the fertility team throughout your treatment, you are free to contact them whatever the time of day or however small your enquiry may be.
You have complete flexibility and can plan appointments with your consultant at times to suit you. The service is available seven days a week and you can book procedures and appointments outside normal office hours and at weekends.
Our personal and individual service means:
- You do not need a GP or hospital referral
- You can refer yourself for treatment – just contact the unit directly
- There are no waiting times and appointments can be booked within a few days
There are no hidden costs at our fertility centres and we feel passionate about giving patients excellent levels of care without having to worry about additional services that were not initially included.
Please note: Before all treatment an Initial Consultation must take place to determine which treatment is most suitable for you.
