COUPLES hoping to start a family are invited to a free fertility open day.

Daresbury company Reproductive Health Group is giving hopeful parents the chance to talk to experts about IVF treatment.

The open day, at MIBA Health clinic at 35 Rodney Street on December 12, is for people who are not eligible on the NHS, those who have already had IVF and also couples who already have children from other relationships.

Dr Luciano Nardo, clinical director at Reproductive Health Group, said: “We are excited to be offering this open day as a chance to talk to people about the possibilities of IVF.

“We understand that embarking on fertility treatment is a very important decision and often people have lots of questions and concerns.

“We will have specialists on hand to explain treatments and offer expert advice.

“This is really aimed at men and women who are not eligible for NHS treatment but who still want to realise their dreams of having children."

The event takes place between 10am and 8pm and appointments can be booked at mibahealth.com/events.
