WHY CARE FERTILITY

At Care Fertility, we make family possible with personalised treatments, compassionate care, and expert guidance—helping you every step of the way.

Care Fertility: Our Story 

In 1978, the world met Louise Joy Brown—the first baby born through IVF—and everything changed. Before IVF, hope for people struggling to conceive was limited. But pioneers like gynaecologist Patrick Steptoe and reproductive biologist Robert Edwards proved that science could do something extraordinary—it could create life where there had only been longing. 

Dr John Webster was part of that historic moment, assisting at Louise’s birth and helping to establish the world’s first IVF clinic at Bourn Hall. Alongside Steptoe and Edwards, he was instrumental in transforming IVF from an experimental procedure into a treatment that could change lives.

Shortly after that historic moment, Simon Fishel joined Robert Edwards at Cambridge. He went on to become one of the world’s foremost specialists in the field of fertility treatment, widely recognised for his pioneering work in embryology and IVF. Under Edwards’ mentorship, Simon helped refine and expand IVF, shaping how fertility treatment is delivered today. 

In 1997, Simon and John co-founded Care Fertility. Back then, we were known as the Centre for Assisted Reproduction (CARE). Their vision was simple: to make IVF more accessible, more compassionate, and more effective—giving more people the chance to grow their family. What began as a single clinic in Nottingham is now one of the most trusted fertility networks in the world.

From the very beginning, we've stood on the edge of possibility and carried the torch of innovation. At Care Fertility, fertility treatment isn’t just science—it’s love, empathy, and helping our patients at every step of their journey. 

We’ve been part of thousands of stories—from the first positive pregnancy test to that first baby cry in the delivery room. And behind every one of those stories is a team that blends advanced reproductive science with compassion, collaboration, and expertise. 

Why we do what we do 

Because we believe family is for everyone — regardless of background, gender, sexuality, or circumstance. It’s not just a belief. It’s who we are. It’s in our DNA. 

How we make it happen 

With state-of-the-art treatments, world-class research, and the most experienced fertility experts in the field, we tailor every journey to the person taking it. Science is our foundation, but empathy is our guide.

Care Fertility is the UK’s leading fertility treatment provider, with an international network of clinics across UK, Ireland, Spain and the United States.  

Since 1997 we’ve help make family possible for tens of thousands of people — and we’re just getting started.
