Construction work begins on clinic at business park

Patients undergoing fertility treatment will soon be receiving their care in a brand new clinic near the Humber Bridge, within the Hesslewood Business Park.

It will allow the Hull IVF Unit to enhance its existing patient experience.

The clinic currently provides over 400 treatment cycles for patients every year and continues to attract a growing number of patients seeking both NHS-funded and private treatment.

Hobson & Porter, a local construction company, have been appointed as lead contractor to build the clinic. Initial groundworks have recently started and construction is expected to take around 12 months.

 The facility will provide much needed extra clinical and laboratory space, enabling the clinic to meet rising demand from both NHS and private patients across our region and beyond.

Denise Holland, the clinic’s consultant nurse, said: “We have been working very hard over the past two years to develop the plans for the new IVF unit.

“We all work together as a very close-knit team and hope the new facility will significantly improve patients’ experience, at what can be a very emotional and stressful time in their lives.”

Russ Pask, contracts manager for Hobson & Porter, said: “We’re pleased to be on site and commencing works at Hesslewood Business Park.

“The new Hull IVF Unit will be the latest in a long line of high-quality healthcare facilities we have delivered in the region over many years and we are proud to be creating a unit that will provide fertility treatment for hundreds of patients in the local area.”

The clinic will be able to accommodate additional workload, while also integrating new technologies into treatments, as they become available.

It is anticipated the clinic will open its doors to patients at the new facility by summer 2021.
