Demand for IVF and fertility treatment among Woking residents remains high, yet NHS access presents significant challenges. Most patients face waiting times of 12 to 36 months, with eligibility criteria varying by clinical commissioning group. Private treatment in the UK typically costs between 4,000 to 8,000 pounds per cycle, placing it beyond reach for many couples.
Woking patients are increasingly travelling to established fertility centres across Europe and the Middle East to access rapid treatment at substantially lower costs. Destinations such as Cyprus, Istanbul, Prague and Athens offer comprehensive IVF programmes with success rates comparable to UK clinics. Savings of up to 60 percent per cycle make medical tourism an attractive option for families seeking timely, affordable fertility care.

Getting to your clinic from Woking
Woking is well positioned for medical tourism, with London Heathrow (LHR) approximately 30 miles away. Direct flights from Heathrow to Istanbul take 3 hours 50 minutes, whilst Budapest is just 2 hours 20 minutes. These hubs connect to secondary fertility centres throughout Eastern Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean, making journey times manageable for UK patients.
Most Woking patients combine their fertility treatment with a 10 to 14 day trip abroad, allowing time for pre-treatment assessments, the procedure itself and initial recovery. Direct transport from Woking to Heathrow is straightforward by car, coach or train. Fertility clinics abroad typically arrange airport transfers and accommodation partnerships, removing logistical stress during what can be an emotionally demanding process.

Frequently asked questions
How long would I wait for IVF treatment on the NHS in Woking?
NHS waiting times in Woking vary by commissioning group but typically range from 12 to 36 months. Many patients do not meet local eligibility criteria such as age limits or previous fertility history. Private treatment abroad can often be arranged within 4 to 8 weeks.
What is included in the price of IVF treatment abroad?
Most packages include initial fertility assessment, blood tests, ultrasound scans, egg retrieval, laboratory fertilisation, embryo transfer and basic post-transfer support. Medication costs and travel are sometimes separate, so confirm with your chosen clinic before booking.
Is it safe to travel for IVF treatment from Woking?
Yes. Fertility clinics in established destinations like Cyprus, Turkey and Hungary maintain high standards of care and accreditation. Flying during the early stages of IVF is generally safe, though your clinic will advise against air travel immediately after egg retrieval. Most patients recover well enough to fly home within 3 to 5 days.
What success rates can I expect for IVF abroad compared to Woking clinics?
Success rates depend on age, egg quality and clinic expertise rather than geography. Many established clinics in Istanbul, Budapest and Nicosia publish success rates equivalent to or exceeding UK averages. Request specific statistics for your age group when comparing clinics.
Can I use my UK GP for follow-up care after fertility treatment abroad?
Most UK GPs will provide basic follow-up support such as blood tests and early pregnancy scans. Communicate your treatment abroad to your GP in advance. Your fertility clinic abroad will provide detailed reports and contact details for ongoing liaison with UK medical professionals.
