CELEBRATION

Celebrating 20 years of IVF Service

Mr Jude-Harris Adeghe, Consultant in Gynaecology & Assisted Reproduction, backed by his team at St Jude’s Women’s Hospital, is celebrating 20 years of providing IVF services in Wolverhampton.
Mr Adeghe was appointed as Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist at New Cross Hospital Wolverhampton in 1995. Through collaboration with the Birmingham Women’s Hospital he upgraded the fertility services at New Cross Hospital and obtained HFEA licence for IVF and related treatments in 1997. Following this achievement, Mr Adeghe held negotiations with the then Director of Public Health, Wolverhampton Health Authority, and a contract for IVF services was awarded to the New Cross Hospital Assisted Conception Unit. This meant that Wolverhampton couples could undergo treatment locally instead of travelling outside the region. The unit operated for four years and recorded one of the highest pregnancy rates in the midlands.

Mr Adeghe started St Jude’s Women’s Hospital, Wolverhampton in 2002 to provide a comprehensive fertility and IVF services. From 2009 to 2013, St Jude’s held the NHS contract for provision of IVF services in Wolverhampton. St Jude’s was also in the panel of clinics providing NHS funded IVF services to the then South Staffordshire Health Authority. St Jude’s has a satellite clinic at Sandy Lane, Newcastle-u-lyme, Staffordshire and still going strong.

Altogether, over 1100 babies have been born following treatments carried out under Mr Adeghe’s care. To celebrate 20 successful years of IVF service and God’s blessings, Mr Adeghe and Staff of St Jude’s cordially invite past and present patients of St Jude’s, friends and wishers, to join us for a celebratory afternoon:
