Self-Funded Treatment

To access this service we require a referral letter from your General Practitioner (GP) or a specialist consultant with contact details for you and your partner (if applicable). Please be aware, to be eligible for self-funding treatment the intended birth mother must be 45 years old or younger with a BMI >18.5 and <32.

Once we have received your referral, you will be added to our waiting list and appointments will be offered in order of date added to our waiting list.  Unfortunately, we are unable to define the waiting time for self-funded treatments as demand for this service has not yet been established. An estimated waiting time will be provided on your letter confirming you addition to the waiting list.

Please note that we are an NHS centre and we apply the same waiting list management principles to self-funding patients.  To maximise the capacity of our service to allow us to treat as many people as possible, you will be unable to choose when your treatment begins.  If you are not available for treatment when we contact you, we can ‘pause’ your position on the waiting list but only for a maximum of 24 weeks after which you would be removed from the waiting list and will need to be re-referred by your GP or specialist consultant. 

We aim to ensure that the prices below are current and up-to-date. However, the Centre reserves the right to vary the costs indicated on this page. The link below contains our current price list, methods of payment and refund policy.
