Written in PATH's voice from this clinic's published HFEA data — reviewed before publishing, never generated live.
CARE Fertility Plymouth's most recent HFEA data shows a live-birth rate of 23% per embryo transferred, against a national average of 29% — six percentage points below. Their strongest results were in the 35-37 age band (39% versus 32% nationally), while 38-39 sat well under the national figure (12% versus 26%). This is a low-volume clinic, so smaller caseloads can mean results shift more from year to year than at larger units. Worth asking them directly what their figures for your specific age group look like, and how recent that data is.
The 23% figure is the live-birth rate per embryo transferred, taken from HFEA-verified regulated data covering 2016-18 — not a prediction for any individual, but a population statistic. Two things worth checking before comparing this clinic to another: whether a quoted rate is per embryo transferred or per cycle started (the two can differ substantially), and which years the figure actually covers, since older data may not reflect current practice. Asking the clinic to walk you through their own numbers, rather than reading a single headline percentage, tends to be more useful.
A few worth raising directly with them: what's included in the quoted price and what add-on costs are typical, what their live-birth rates were for your specific age group in the latest HFEA data, and how many cycles similar to yours they carry out each year — useful context given this is a low-volume clinic. Feel free to ask about anything else on your mind too. A good consultant will welcome these questions and take the time to answer them properly rather than rushing you past them.
