We believe one of the most important things about undergoing fertility treatment is teamwork.  

Bridge at Holly House put great empahsis on ensuring that all our patients feel actively involved and appropriately informed about their treatment and the choices available to them. Our IVF Co-ordinator and specialist fertility nurse will work closely with both you, your Consultant, your ultrasonographer, your GP (where necessary) and Bridge's clinical and scientific team to ensure that we give you every chance of success.

Our patients tell us they really value the friendly and family atmosphere at Bridge and Holly House and we are proud to work so closely with all our patients.

The service has its own dedicated suite on the 2nd floor of the Hospital to ensure the comfort and privacy of all patients.
