Questions people ask about Royal Derby Hospital

Written in PATH's voice from this clinic's published HFEA data — reviewed before publishing, never generated live.

Is Royal Derby Hospital a strong choice for my age group?

Royal Derby Hospital's HFEA-verified live-birth rate is 57%, well above the national average of 38%. The only age band published is under-35, where the clinic also sees 57% against 38% nationally. IVF is listed as its best-performing treatment. This is recorded as a low-volume clinic, and with only one age band published and case numbers not clearly broken out, it's worth asking directly how many cycles like yours the clinic carries out each year and how this headline figure was reached before treating it as the whole picture.

What does Royal Derby Hospital's success rate actually tell me?

The published figure is the live-birth rate per embryo transferred, taken from HFEA-regulated data covering 2016 to 2018. When comparing this with another clinic's rate, check whether both are quoted per embryo transferred or per cycle started, as these measure different things, and check which years each figure covers, since a clinic's more recent results can differ from an older published number. Regulated data is a useful, independently verified basis, but it reflects a group of past patients rather than predicting any one person's outcome.

What's worth asking Royal Derby Hospital before booking?

A few questions worth putting to the clinic directly: - What's included in the quoted price, and what add-on costs are typical? - What were your live-birth rates for my age group in the latest HFEA data? - How many cycles like mine do you carry out each year? A good consultant will welcome these questions and answer them openly.
