Supporting the Surrogacy Community : Our Unique Partnership
By James Nicopoullos, Medical Director Lister Fertility Clinic
At Lister Fertility Clinic, our dedication to family building through surrogacy is shared with partners like My Surrogacy Journey (MSJ). Together, we strive to provide the highest standard of care, compassion, and innovation for intended parents, surrogates, and egg donors.
A Collaborative Approach to Complex Cases
Our close clinical connection with the team at MSJ enables us to work hand-in-hand on even the most challenging cases. We regularly collaborate to discuss and find solutions for complex situations, always with the goal of enabling safe and successful family building. This partnership means that no matter the difficulty of a case, our patients receive a tailored, thoughtful approach to help them achieve their dreams of parenthood.
Breaking New Ground in International Surrogacy
Innovation is at the heart of what makes our partnership unique. A prime example is our collaboration with clinics in Mexico to establish a safe protocol for egg donor stimulation and collection across continents – an industry first. This ground breaking effort not only ensured the safety of the donor throughout the process but also set a new precedent for international surrogacy care. By providing prophylactic care and continuous monitoring of the donor’s health, we safeguarded her well-being at every stage of the journey.
Improving the Surrogacy Landscape
We are also proud to work closely with MSJ to enhance the surrogacy landscape, particularly through ongoing discussions with partners like ISIS Egg Bank. By improving their CGT panel, we’re helping intended parents make more informed decisions about egg donors. It’s this commitment to continual improvement and patient education that defines our approach to surrogacy.
Swift and Supportive Care
Communication is key in surrogacy, and our dedicated surrogacy team ensures seamless coordination between all parties. This level of personalised attention fosters swift, reciprocal referrals, meaning that intended parents and surrogates receive timely care when they need it most.
Bringing Global Knowledge to Local Practice
Our partnership with MSJ brings educational insight into the global surrogacy landscape, enriching our internal programs and broadening our patients’ options. Whether navigating international protocols or adapting to new legislation, we’re constantly evolving our services to offer the best possible care.
A Clinic You Can Trust
With 36 years of experience and over 22,000 babies born through our clinic, Lister Fertility Clinic has earned its reputation as a leader in fertility care. Our dedicated surrogacy and donor teams work with world-class facilities, including a fully equipped theatre suite, Intensive Care Unit (ICU), and Coronary Care Unit (CCU) to manage even high-risk cases. We provide an inclusive and safe environment for all our patients, ensuring their peace of mind during every step of the journey.
Our partnership with MSJ allows us to offer unparalleled care and support, helping families grow while ensuring the safety and well-being of all involved. Together, we are committed to building a brighter future for the surrogacy community.
Debbie Evans, Clinical and Compliance Director at MSJ agrees that the close clinical connection with the team at Lister Fertility Clinic means that we are able to discuss sometimes very difficult cases and work together to find a solution to enable family building and improve outcomes.
