St Jude’s Quarterly Update (2nd & 3rd quarters)

Greetings. The year is flying by at supersonic speed! It has been hectic but productive! I hope you are all well and have had a good summer. The good Lord has been kind, we have many good things to report.
Highlights are as follows:

•  Successful HFEA License renewal inspection – We are pleased to announce that our HFEA license have been renewed for the maximum period of four years without conditions. This is a testament to the hard work, dedication and brilliance of our staff. It is a verification that Quality & Safety is paramount in all that we do.
•  Pregnancy rates continues to be impressive. So much so that our challenge is to try and reduce our high twin pregnancy rate! Up to date clinical pregnancy rates will published shortly.
• There is more to fertility management than IVF. St Jude adopts a holistic approach to fertility care:  Individualised care based on the simplest, most cost-effective treatment. It may not be IVF. Our treatment recommendation is always evidence-based but guided by experience and delivered with utmost care and respect for your individuality, dignity and sensitivity.
• Patient’s wish and preference is our focus, not the so-called league table. We have not set exclusion criteria based on BMI or age. Our approach is truly patient-centred
• Our Miscarriage clinic continues to record spectacular success. 70% of patients who attend the recurrent miscarriage go on to have a successful pregnancy following comprehensive investigation, treatment and monitoring.
• Our non-IVF treatments such as simple ovulation induction with ultrasound follicle tracking is highly successful
• Medical treatment for PCOS (not involving IVF) is proving effective
• Hysteroscopy service is up and running and proving to be a valuable investigation for implantation failure and miscarriage
• Ultrasound scanning service is proving very popular      

       So much for now. Till our next report, stay well and stay blessed.
