Every year I look after thousands of women and men with fertility issues. The desire to help as many people as possible has striven me to ensure we consistently have the most up to date information, undertaken the best quality science, and have the latest technology. This powerful combination drives our high success rates.

In this landmark paper published in JAMA, I analyzed over 250,000 UK IVF cycles, highlighting the advantages of continuing with treatment. This paper combines my clinical experience and research to offer essential insights into why persistence in IVF is key to achieving parenthood. Discover these findings in the freely available digital edition on my website.
