Written in PATH's voice from this clinic's published HFEA data — reviewed before publishing, never generated live.
University Hospital Dorset's overall live-birth rate sits at 26%, below the national average of 37% — a gap of 11 percentage points. Age matters here: under-35 patients see 57% against a national 38%, while the 38-39 band sees 13% against a national 26%, its weakest result. The clinic runs a low volume of cycles, so smaller caseloads can shift more year to year than a large centre's would. Worth asking how your own age band has performed most recently.
The headline number is a live-birth rate per embryo transferred, drawn from HFEA-verified regulated data covering 2016 to 2018. Before weighing it against another clinic, two checks are worth making: whether a quoted figure is per embryo transferred or per cycle started, since these can tell quite different stories, and which years it covers, since reporting periods vary between clinics. Both checks change how fair a comparison really is.
Worth putting a few things to the team directly: - what is included in the quoted price, and which add-on costs are typical - their live-birth rates for your specific age group in the latest HFEA data - how many cycles like yours they carry out each year, given the smaller caseload here A good consultant will welcome these questions rather than deflect them.
