Orbit Fertility is a Bradford satellite IVF unit at the Yorkshire Clinic. It cares for both NHS and self-funded patients in a local and friendly setting with access to cutting-edge lab technology.
Patients are usually referred to the fertility clinic by their GP or practice nurse. Some of our patients are referred by doctors they have seen in other departments or hospitals.
If you wish to see a member of the team, your GP will be able to arrange a referral. If you are seeking treatment as a couple, it is helpful for both of you to be referred together. This allows us to arrange appropriate investigations and can expedite your journey through our service.
We run an inclusive service, seeing couples and individuals for conditions including:

We also check height and weight to calculate body mass index. This is a ratio of your height and weight and the result gives an indication of whether you are under or overweight. It is optimal to maintain this in the normal range (19 – 25) – both for general health and fertility benefits.
