To ensure the safety and wellbeing of all of our patients and staff we have adapted how we operate the service and now offer friendly Covid appointments as follows:
All patients will have to attend Oxford for their egg collection and embryo transfer appointment. Some patients may also require additional procedures (e.g. cyst aspiration, sperm freeze, surgical sperm retrieval) which can only be done at the main unit in Oxford.

The satellite is available to all patients, both NHS and self-funding, who are concerned about their fertility and wish to seek advice about options, tests and IVF. Patients currently undergoing fresh IVF or frozen embryo replacement cycles can also use the satellite service for scans and blood test appointments.
The aim of the satellite service is to make treatment more convenient for you. Our Milton Keynes satellite is staffed by a highly experienced team who offer an excellent standard of care. Appointments are conducted in line with Oxford Fertility’s protocols and all scan and blood test results are sent to the main unit so the decisions made about your treatment, and your chances of success, are the same whether you choose to have your appointments in Milton Keynes or Oxford.
Appointments can be booked by contacting our Patient Services Team in Oxford by telephone on 01908 018389, by email: info@oxfordfertility.co.uk or by using the direct link from the website and completing a self-referral form. Your GP or local Consultant can also make a referral to us. It is important to include any additional information such as blood test results, semen analysis reports, or any other relevant medical history with any of the above referral options. If you have not had any testing carried out then there is a possibility of arranging these with ourselves in Oxford prior to your initial appointment.
Once things go back to normal we will open up the service again at the satellite clinic
