Hundreds of mums, dad, babies and youngsters from across West Yorkshire shared the fun at the annual party for babies born after care with Yorkshire Fertility (YF).

It was held at Northbridge Leisure centre, Halifax, and attended by the specialist doctors and nurses from the YF team.

The team at YF has one of the best conception rates and sees about 1,500 new patients per year from across the area including Bradford, Halifax, Huddersfield, Wakefield, Dewsbury, Leeds and York.

Patients are able to access the latest fertility technologies including pre-implantation genetic diagnosis and time lapse imaging, which help to ensure only the best quality embryos are selected for transplantation.

YF has also just started virtual clinics so that, where possible, patients do not have face journeys into YF – based at Calderdale Royal Hospital – and can have appointments with the experts via dial-in.

The annual event is hugely popular reuniting parents and their babies and the staff in the YF team.

Sister Helen Marvell, said: “It’s always loud, noisy and totally joyous – a real highlight for everyone in our team here at Yorkshire Fertility. We are very proud of the care this team provides and a pleasure to be reunited with our families.”
