Scott
Nelson
Based between the University of Glasgow and Kuwait, providing global expertise in reproductive medicine — with a research programme cited more than 40,000 times.
Since 2008 I have held the Muirhead Chair of Obstetrics & Gynaecology at the University of Glasgow, leading a research group whose work on ovarian reserve, maternal health and assisted reproduction has informed guidelines from the HFEA, NICE and the ESHRE.
In parallel, I founded and direct Oxford Medical Kuwait, a consultant-led fertility, obstetrics and gynaecology clinic in Kuwait City, where I see IVF patients myself, six days a week; and, as Medical Director of Access Fertility, I oversee multi-cycle refund programmes across partnered UK clinics.
Alongside this, I act as an instructed expert witness under CPR Part 35 through DRSMN Ltd, with opinion work in fertility treatment, obstetric injury and gynaecological care.
A body of work that has shaped the field.

Two institutions. One continuous practice.
Glasgow is the intellectual base. The research group — supervising doctoral students from the UK and Gulf — uses Scottish Morbidity Records linked to national datasets to examine maternal and child outcomes following assisted conception, obesity, and diabetes in pregnancy.
The appointment also provides liaison with NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde, and, through the Glasgow Royal Fertility Clinic, a private University of Glasgow / NHS partnership offering IVF to existing patients.

Oxford Medical Kuwait is a consultant-led fertility, obstetrics and gynaecology clinic in Bneid Al Qar, Kuwait City, which I founded and direct. I see IVF patients there myself, six days a week, and consult in Arabic. The clinic cultures embryos to Day 5 in its own laboratory, biopsies on Day 5 when genetic testing is chosen, and transfers one embryo at a time.
Practice is shared clinically with Dr Karema Alrashed; consultations are delivered in Khaleeji Arabic where preferred. Expertise in follicular activation and recurrent implantation failure.
- Individualised stimulation matched to AMH and follicle count
- Second opinions after unsuccessful IVF
- Day 5 biopsy and single embryo transfer
- Egg freezing
- Recurrent miscarriage and implantation failure
- Obstetric care after IVF
