UK to be home to Europe's largest IVF unit

Planning permission has just been granted for the largest IVF unit in Europe to be built in Liverpool. The Hewitt Centre for Reproductive Medicine , based at Liverpool Women's Hospital, is already one of the largest units in the country, but the new centre will be able to carry out 2,000 treatment cycles every year.

The project is funded jointly by the hospital and the private company, North West Fertility Ltd, and will include a new embryology laboratory, sperm bank and egg freezing facility. This can only be good news for anyone needing fertility treatment in the North West.
