GP referrals
For NHS or self-funding referrals to the Homerton Fertility Centre, we need a GP referral from a UK based GP or a referral letter from your local hospital where you have had your initial investigations.
Please use the links above to access the referral forms, which list all the necessary tests to be completed before your appointment at the fertility centre. Ask your GP or hospital to perform these tests so that, when you see us, the decision-making and treatment processes can be expedited.
Referral criteria:
- BMI: must be within 19–30 for the biological mother at the time of referral and the start of each treatment. This will be assessed at each visit
- smoking status: the biological mother and partner must be non-smokers at the time of referral and the start of each treatment and throughout the treatment process.
Please note that if either of these criteria is not met or recorded on your referral form, your referral may be rejected or your treatment delayed or discontinued. If your BMI is above 30 but below 35, or you or your partner are smokers, you can choose to have self funded treatment with us. Please remember that this will affect your NHS entitlement – see FAQs.
