Mind/Body - We believe that to provide complete and compassionate care we must treat the whole patient, emotionally and physically. We do not want patients to feel sad, anxious, lonely or angry as they go through fertility treatment. The physical demands of the treatment process are enough to manage on their own. Our Mind/Body programme allows you to participate in a group with others in a similar situation to your own.
