Are you having treatment at Wales Fertility Institute?
Wales Fertility Institute offers a full range of assisted reproduction treatments and the highest standard of care.
Our highly qualified team of consultants, embryologists, nurses, laboratory, administration and counselling staff offer a friendly and supportive environment to patients seeking fertility advice and treatment to help them reach their goal of becoming a family.
We understand how many patients have waited for quite some time to be able to access our services. Some patients have been through the secondary care [gynaecology or urology] services prior to being referred into WFI and it may seem that it has taken a lengthy period to obtain referral to our specialised services.
CURRENT WAITING TIME: Our waiting time for an initial consultation is up to 26 weeks from the date of receipt of your referral. This is in line with Welsh Government Referral to Treatment targets.
ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA: The NHS Wales Joint Commissioning Committee sets eligibility criteria for NHS funded assisted reproduction treatment. We are only able to accept your referral if it meets this eligibility criteria, which can be found under policy CP38 at whssc.nhs.wales/commissioning/whssc-policies/fertility/specialist-fertility-services-commissioning-policy-cp38-april-2025/
It is important that you inform us immediately of any change in your circumstances including personal details i.e. name, address etc., changes to your relationship status or changes to your clinical requirements. Unfortunately, if we are not informed of any changes and this comes to light at consultation, this may have the potential to affect your eligibility for consideration of treatment or could impact on your treatment waiting time.
We understand that the wait for treatment can be a difficult time for patients and once you have been referred into our service and accepted for consideration of treatment you will be able to access the services of our counselling team to help guide you through the process. Further information regarding support available to patients can be found under the counselling pages.
