Fertility Nurse / Midwife Specialist
About
We are a busy private fertility clinic that focuses on patient centred care and delivering exceptional service. We are a centre of clinical excellence that offers the full range of fertility service which include diagnostic, treatment, and storage within our one main site. We are part of Virtus Health, a large global fertility group, which gives the clinic access to the latest innovation and best practice in IVF on an international basis. We are based in Southampton and operate satellite clinics in Bournemouth and Portsmouth to increase access for our patients.
We also partner closely with the NHS in Dorset and Hampshire and offer IVF treatment under contract to NHS patients. We work closely with the University Hospital Southampton NHS Trust and the University of Southampton in the teaching of medical students, clinical fellows, and student nurses/midwives. We lead and collaborate in national and international research in our drive to improve fertility outcomes.
As a clinic, we deliver an extensive induction programme giving you an overview of our patient’s journey. Following your induction, you will be given the opportunity to develop within the fertility Nurse/Midwife role by undertaking competency-based training. You will be working alongside experienced practitioners to develop your knowledge and understanding within the fertility speciality.
We encourage our nurses to take on specialist lead roles within our clinical services, and to attend Fertility conferences and courses as part of their on-going professional development.
