Making an Appointment
Private Patients
You can be seen as a private patient either through self-referral or following referral by your General Practitioner or Consultant. We encourage patients to obtain a doctor’s referral letter as this often provides us with useful background information and may avoid the need to repeat certain investigations.
Once you have booked an appointment you will be sent a patient guide including a map with directions, a patient history booklet and registration form to complete before your first consultation and a price list. We encourage our patients to bring copies of all previous correspondence, investigations and details of any gynaecological or fertility treatment they have had previously, as this can avoid the need to repeat investigations and will be of benefit in planning further treatment. Medical Centres should, on request, provide patients with a full copy of their medical records for this purpose.
NHS Patients
If you have been referred to have fertility treatment at the Agora as an NHS patient, we will send you an appointment letter through the post asking you to attend with your partner for consultation in order to set up treatment once your funding is confirmed. You will be asked to complete a ‘Patient History Booklet’ and registration form before your first consultation. If you have had any relevant investigations and treatment in the private sector please bring copies of these to your first appointment unless your consultant has already forwarded these on to us. A copy of your NHS fertility record will automatically be sent to us by your referring consultant.
