Dr Lukasz Polanski is a Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist and a Subspecialist in Reproductive Medicine and Surgery, currently practising at Bourn Hall Fertility Clinic and North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust. With more than 14 years of clinical experience, he specialises in fertility, reproductive endocrinology, gynaecological scanning, and reproductive surgery.
He is an expert in early pregnancy and fertility scanning, including 3D imaging and HyCoSy procedures. Dr Polanski completed his subspecialty training at Guy’s Hospital in London and has worked extensively at Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust. Dr Polanski is a member of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists and serves as the Honorary Secretary of the British Society for Gynaecological Imaging (BSGI).
Alongside his clinical work, he holds a PhD focused on predictors of success in IVF and has published widely on fertility imaging. He is passionate about education and has established training courses to improve the practice of scanning in gynaecology. His clinical interests include infertility caused by uterine anomalies, anovulatory disorders, recurrent implantation failure, and ovulation induction.
In his clinical practice, Dr Polanski is committed to delivering highly personalised, patient-centred care. He ensures that every consultation allows dedicated time to listen carefully to each patient’s concerns, experiences, and priorities. This approach enables him to develop tailored, jointly agreed treatment plans that reflect both clinical best practice and each patient’s individual needs and preferences. For his care of patients experiencing pregnancy loss, in March 2025, he has been awarded the Special Recognition Award in the category 'OBGYN of The Year' by Mariposa International and The Saying Goodbye Foundation.
He places strong emphasis on timely assessment and intervention, aiming to reduce delays and provide clarity and support throughout the patient’s journey. Where appropriate, he incorporates innovative diagnostic tools and evidence-based advances in care, including novel non-invasive tests for assessment of suspected endometriosis. This allows earlier diagnostic insights and supports more informed decision-making.
Overall, Dr Polanski’s aim is to provide holistic, compassionate, and effective care that empowers patients, enhances their wellbeing, and ensures they feel fully supported throughout their treatment.
