Hewitt Fertility Centre Wigan – Satellite Clinic at Fertility Fusion provides both NHS and private fertility services. The Unit was made possible by a partnership between Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh NHS Foundation Trust and the Hewitt Fertility Centre. Not only was the building funded by both organisations, but the partnership extends into the clinical activity of the unit. Fertility Fusion is a satellite IVF unit which means that the majority of egg recoveries and embryo transfers take place at the Hewitt Fertility Centres in Liverpool or Knutsford. All other treatment options can be carried out at the Fertility Fusion unit at Wrightington Hospital.
