Care Fertility, the UK’s leading fertility treatment provider, today announces a significant leadership transition as part of its unwavering commitment to its mission: to make family possible for everyone. Michael Henry will take over as CEO of Care Fertility from the 17th April 2025.  

Under the outgoing CEO, David Burford’s leadership, Care Fertility, guided by its values of compassion, collaboration, and expertise, has grown its clinic network, broadened its services, and enhanced the care it provides to families in the UK and internationally in Ireland, Spain and the United States. 

To build on this success, Michael Henry, appointed by Care Fertility’s board and owners Nordic Capital, brings with him extensive leadership experience and a proven ability to drive growth, enhance patient care, and foster operational excellence in healthcare organizations. Most recently, Michael served as Chief Operating Officer at IVC Evidensia, the global leader in veterinary care, where he was instrumental in expanding services across multiple regions and nurturing a culture centered on patient-focused care. With his expertise in managing complex healthcare operations and his passion for delivering outstanding patient outcomes, Michael is uniquely qualified to lead Care Fertility into its next era of success. 

This leadership change reflects our steadfast commitment to advancing fertility care with compassion, collaboration, and expertise. With Michael at the helm, Care Fertility will continue its work to make family possible for everyone, delivering innovative, patient-focused care and building on its reputation as a trusted leader in fertility treatment. 

Michael Henry, new CEO of Care Fertility comments; “I am deeply honoured to join Care Fertility, an organisation that has transformed the lives of countless families through its compassionate and innovative approach to fertility patient care. I look forward to building on the incredible legacy of David Burford, working alongside the talented teams across Care Fertility, and continuing our mission to make family possible for everyone. Together, we will advance patient care, expand access to services, and further solidify Care Fertility’s position as a leader in the field of reproductive medicine.”

Michael’s extensive experience in healthcare leadership and his unwavering dedication to patient care make him exceptionally well-suited to guide Care Fertility into its next chapter. 

The Board would also like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to David Burford for his remarkable leadership over the past 11 years. Under David’s guidance, Care Fertility has become a pioneering force in the fertility sector, expanding its reach and making family possible for countless people. We are confident that Michael will build on this legacy and drive Care Fertility to even greater success.”
