A fertility clinic in Kent that is responsible for over 1,000 babies being born has joined a network of clinics that is the largest independent provider of the service in the UK and Ireland.

CARE Fertility today announced that the South East Fertility Clinic (SEFC), based in Queens Road, Tunbridge Wells, would join the network.

SEFC based in Tunbridge Wells was set up in 2004 by Mr Michael Rimington and Mr Mark Wilcox offering dedicated fertility treatments to both NHS and private patients.

Since opening, it has been responsible for the birth of 1,200 babies.

It is now part of CARE Fertility which hosts six clinics carrying out over 5000 treatment cycles annually.

Michael Rimington, said “The whole team at SEFC are very excited to be joining the CARE Fertility group. For the last 10 years we have been privileged to help couples trying to have a family. We wanted to ensure that people could access high quality treatment locally, in a caring and patient focussed environment.

"In that time, over 1,200 babies have been born. CARE Fertility has a world renowned reputation for their pioneering work in fertility research and treatment, with a wealth of experience in developing new effective therapies to overcome infertility.

"All of our patients will get the best of both worlds, unrivalled treatment options, great results and the continuing passion and warmth of our existing team" - Michael Rimington...

"All of our patients will get the best of both worlds, unrivalled treatment options, great results and the continuing passion and warmth of our existing team."

Prof Simon Fishel, CEO of CARE Fertility said “I am personally thrilled that SEFC are joining the CARE family. Our ethos has always been to offer patients the very best chance of having a baby.

"We provide tailored, individual treatment in a high quality setting. The Tunbridge Wells team have established a caring, sensitive approach to their patients, delivering great results. Becoming part of CARE Fertility means better access to cutting edge treatments, and novel technologies not generally available elsewhere.”

Mark Wilcox said “From October we will become CARE Fertility Tunbridge Wells. Our focus will, of course, remain on the individual needs of each patient. Working closely within an expanded network, the expertise and skills available will take the provision of fertility treatment to a new level. The result for our patients will, I’m sure, be the best IVF experience in the South East of England.”
