About us

MFS was founded in 1986 by Professor Brian Lieberman who established the first NHS IVF Unit in the UK and the late Dr Richard Burslem.  Three valued members of staff have been present since the start, Dr Debbie Falconer, Principal Embryologist, Sister Vicky Arnold, Senior Nurse and Lynnsey McHugh, the Unit Manager.  We have grown steadily ever since - in staff, range of treatments, reputation and expertise.  Research, alongside our clinical work, plays an essential part in all we do.

In August 2006 we relocated to Manchester's new Bridgewater Hospital which is on the main route from Manchester International Airport to the city.  Our purpose built IVF laboratories and theatre are amongst the most modern in the world, built to the exacting standards required by the European Tissue Directive.  Our new facilities can only help to further improve our excellent results. 

To date, almost 3000 babies have been born thanks to the skill and dedication of our staff.  We see more than 850 new patients each year and the number continually increases.  The increased number of referrals is a reflection of our standing and reputation as one of the most foremost infertility clinics in the United Kingdom.
