About

Mr James Nicopoullos, Consultant Gynaecologist and Subspecialist in Reproductive Medicine and Surgery, is the Clinical Director and HFEA Person Responsible for the Lister Fertility Clinic. He is highly experienced in all aspects of reproductive medicine, with a particular interest in those complicated cases the unit is often referred. He also specializes in the overall management of gynaecological disorders such as polycystic ovarian syndrome, recurrent miscarriage, premature ovarian failure and menopause that have a reproductive element at their core.

Mr Nicopoullos began his medical education at the United Medical and Dental Schools of Guy's and St. Thomas's. He then undertook specialist training in obstetrics and gynaecology, training in hospitals throughout London. Through this time, he trained under a number of eminent consultants specialising in reproductive medicine that fuelled his interest in the field. He undertook an MD research thesis in "the effect of sperm aneuploidy and DNA fragmentation on ICSI outcome" at Chelsea & Westminster Hospital, where he also completed his subspecialist training in Reproductive Medicine and Surgery.

Mr Nicopoullos is widely published in peer-reviewed international journals with more than 40 publications on topics such as male fertility, management of viral infections and sub-fertility, low ovarian reserve, ovarian hyper stimulation, premature ovarian failure, effect of progesterone levels and other markers of successful fertility treatments. He is regularly speaker at national and international conferences, acts as a reviewer for a number of peer-reviewed journals and is an active member of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology and a committee member of both the British Fertility Society and HFEA.

When time allows he spends his free time as a taxi service for his teenage sons, chasing after tennis balls and obsessively following Arsenal!

James has been fantastic as my consultant and is always willing to take time to explain every part of my care. On my egg freezing journey he has been clear and pragmatic in explaining my options, which helped me feel informed in making decisions on my next steps. I felt in very safe hands with him and his team.

James is incredibly knowledgeable and we appreciated his ability to always give full and frank answers to our questions, while remaining sensitive to our situation. We always found his explanations to be reassuring without overpromising results. James was also very responsive to emails which is always appreciated. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.

I was recommended James and he did not disappoint. A friendly, up beat and positive personality which is what you need going through Fertility treatment! James was compassionate, understanding and so knowledgable and I had complete trust in him and the decisions he made for me. He came back to my emails immediately and was available to see me in person when needed. James was a ray of sunshine throughout this process and I would highly recommend.

We thought the standard of care and personal attention given by James was considerably better than other fertility clinics in London we have also attended. Each time we met with I felt reassured and my mind was put at ease that we were doing all we could possibly do for the best outcome. James was always available to answer my numerous questions via email. His responses were always timely, even at weekends and late in the evening.

James has always been so professional, he has always made us feel at ease. He so friendly and he know his stuff! We first met James back in 2013, he is my fertility consultant and we had our daughter from that IVF cycle and now we have come back nearly 9 years later for FET. I highly recommend anyone that goes through Fertility treatment to come to Lister.

Brilliant consultant. Honest, kind and genuinely interested in helping his patients. Our journey has not been easy but Dr Nicopoullos has gone above and beyond his role in supporting my husband and I. Whatever the outcome we could not have had a better consultant and I am truly grateful for the support and guidance received.

Explanation

My husband I cannot rate James enough. From the first consultation and throughout the process, he has been empathetic, understanding and extremely approachable. We have had a couple of complications along the way and every time we have contacted him for advice or questions, he has always responded even out of hours and weekends. We have had several IVF rounds and experience with many consultants along the way but none have been as eager to help as James has. We would absolutely recommend him and the Lister (who have also been wonderful).
