NHS Referral Information
Any patient already diagnosed and suitable for fertility treatment should be reviewed against the CCG criteria relevant to them, based on their GP location, to assess their eligibility for NHS-funded treatment. Patients eligible for NHS IVF should be provided with a list of all contracted providers (contained within the Consultant Referral to Specialist Provider for IVF Treatment form).
Any patients who require fertility assessment and diagnosis can be referred to the Outpatient Clinic at Addenbrooke's via the 'Suspected Infertility' proforma below. Patients will be seen by a team of specialists who will assess, diagnose and recommend what further treatment is required. This may include surgery, clomiphene citrate, ovulation induction or other fertility treatments such as IUI and IVF.
Patients not eligible for NHS treatment should be provided with information regarding what self-funded options are available to them. A Cambridge IVF patient information leaflet and brochure is available for download and printing at the bottom of this page.
