Bourn Hall Fertility Clinic UK

Bourn Hall Clinic is the world's first IVF clinic, established in 1980 by IVF pioneers Patrick Steptoe, Robert Edwards, and Jean Purdy. The clinic has a rich history, having witnessed the birth of the first 'test-tube' baby, Louise Brown, in 1978. Over 8 million IVF babies have been born worldwide since then, showcasing the significant impact of Bourn Hall's groundbreaking work. The clinic has a patient-centric approach to fertility health and treatment, increasing the chances of early conception. Bourn Hall treats over 3,500 self-funding and NHS-funded patients annually from its clinics in Cambridgeshire, Essex, and Norfolk. Notably, the clinic collaborates closely with the NHS to enhance success rates for NHS-funded IVF treatment across Bedfordshire, Essex, Norfolk, Hertfordshire, and Suffolk. With full-service clinics in Cambridge, Norwich, and Wickford, and satellite clinics in Colchester, King’s Lynn, and Peterborough, Bourn Hall has established a partnership with the Luton and Dunstable Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. The last known investment was a Venture Round investment on January 11, 2021, with Triangle Capital Corporation and Bulldog Capital Management as the investors. This demonstrates continued interest and support from the venture capital community to further the clinic's mission in advancing fertility health and treatment.
