First IVF clinic opens in York

Couples in York wanting IVF can now get treatment much closer to home.

It's because the city's very first fertility centre has opened at the Yorkshire Sports Medicine site. It will cater for NHS and private patients.

The Hull and East Riding Fertility Group are running the service and say having the clinic in York should mean patients won't have to travel as far at an already very stressful time.

Couples will be able to have consultations and checks at the York satellite clinic, but some of the treatments will still need to be carried out at their main site in Hull.
