About Guy’s Assisted Conception Unit
Experts in fertility care
Our specialists at Guy’s Assisted Conception Unit have been advancing fertility medicine for over 30 years . We are internationally renowned as pioneers in this field and care for over 2,000 patients each year.
We offer the full range of fertility care, including assisted conception (IVF, ICSI and IUI), fertility preservation (embryo and sperm storage), embryo selection and implantation, and pre- implantation genetic testing (PGT). We only draw on precise, evidence-based approaches to best support our patients with personalised care and never offer fertility treatment ‘add-ons’, unlike other providers.
We pride ourselves in delivering the highest standards. We have received a rating of 5/5 from our patients as well as the Human Fertilisations and Embryology Authority, the UK’s fertility regulator.
Pre-implantation genetic testing (PGT)
Our PGT service is available to anyone at risk of having a child with an inherited (genetic) or chromosomal disorder, such as sickle cell disease, cystic fibrosis or Huntington’s disease.
We test for over 300 genetic conditions at our state-of-the-art facilities, with our PGT service being the largest in the UK. We are proud that our centre has helped over 1,000 babies being born following PGT at Guy’s Hospital.
Fertility counselling
Every fertility journey is different, and we understand the emotional challenges and the toll this can have on our patients’ health and wellbeing. We include fertility counselling as a standard part of treatment packages, to help patients feel more confident in decision-making.
Fertility care for everyone
We welcome all patients who wish to explore fertility care. In addition to heterosexual couples, our specialists regularly see same-sex couples and individuals seeking to use donor eggs or sperm to conceive. We are also experts in transgender fertility care and fertility preservation for cancer patients and those looking to delay having children until later in life.
Multidisciplinary health services
Our private fertility services are delivered as part of Guy’s and St Thomas’ Specialist Care. This means that our patients benefit from the expertise and excellence of 5 world-leading hospitals.
With our specialisms including maternity and children’s care, we can provide end-to-end support during pregnancy, birth and onwards for mother and baby. Our central London location at Guy’s Hospital also ensures convenient fertility care for our patients.

I had a great experience at the Guy’s Assisted Conception Unit. Everyone working there was incredibly friendly, professional and supportive throughout the whole process. The unit is extremely well organised and everything runs very smoothly, which made the whole experience feel easy and reassuring. I always felt that I was in very capable hands.
Guys Assisted Conception Unit was as welcoming as a unit could be under the circumstances. The staff were always on hand to help and sensitive and kind in their manner and approach. Any questions that I had were answered promptly leaving less for us to worry about during treatment. The unit was always clean and tidy and I never had any worries or concerns whilst there
Lovely clinic, friendly staff and a great experience thank you!
I have been attending the ACU at Guys for the purpose of Pre Implantation Genetic Diagnosis and IVF for a number of years. To me they are first in class for those with complex fertility issues, especially genetic conditions and testing. They are compassionate and professional. I am forever grateful to them for the birth of my first healthy baby and I am now pregnant with my second. Professor Khalaf deserves a specific mention for his kindness, professionalism and unparalleled expertise.
I recently had a follow-up visit with Professor Khalaf, and once again, the care I received was exceptional. He is highly professional, friendly, and always takes the time to answer every question with patience and kindness.
Difficult circumstances, but would highly recommend Professor Yacoub Khalaf at Guy’s hospital.
We are incredibly grateful to Professor Yacoub and the team at Guy’s for helping us grow our family. From the beginning, I felt completely confident in his care. He was warm, reassuring and incredibly knowledgeable, and I always felt that our embryos were in the safest possible hands. Professor Yacoub personally performed our frozen embryo transfer, and I’m absolutely delighted to say that I am now pregnant and we have just seen our baby’s heartbeat for the first time. After everything that goes into an IVF journey, it is difficult to put into words how much it means to reach this point. Professor Yacoub played such an important part in getting us here and I will always be enormously grateful to him. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone going through fertility treatment. ❤️
Always professional and excellent care. I always felt supported with compassion and empathy.
