Aberdeen Monitoring Service

Where is the satellite?

The GCRM Fertility Aberdeen Monitoring Service is located at the Aberdeen Maternity Hospital, Foresterhill, Aberdeen, AB25 2ZL.

Aberdeen Maternity Hospital is easily accessible by car or public transport, and is seconds off the A944.

Who can use the satellite?

The Aberdeen Monitoring Service is available to all patients based in the North of Scotland.

Which appointments can I have at the satellite?

The following appointments can take place at the satellite:

Blood tests
Scan appointments
Pregnancy scans

All patients will have to attend our Glasgow clinic for their egg collection and embryo transfer appointment and for ovarian assessment and semen analysis. Some patients may also require additional procedures (e.g. cyst aspiration, sperm freeze, surgical sperm retrieval) which can only be done at the main clinic in Glasgow.

How will using the satellite affect my treatment?

Appointments are conducted in line with GCRM’s protocols, and all scan and blood test results are sent to the main unit so the decisions made about your treatment, and your chances of success, are the same whether you choose to have your appointments in Aberdeen or Glasgow.

Who will I see at Aberdeen?

All GCRM Fertility satellite clinics are staffed by highly experienced nurses and doctors who work very closely with the staff at our headquarters in Glasgow to ensure good communication and an excellent standard of care.
