IVF Clinics in Brighton

Brighton and Hove has a small but solid fertility clinic landscape, with HFEA-licensed private options and access to NHS fertility services through Sussex University Hospitals.

The main private provider is Agora Clinic (formerly Brighton Fertility Associates), a long-established independent clinic in central Brighton offering IVF, ICSI, egg freezing, and donor treatment. Sussex Fertility at the Royal Sussex County Hospital provides the NHS pathway and also accepts private patients, operated by Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust.

What to expect on cost

Brighton IVF costs are mid-range for the South East outside London. A standard cycle fee runs £3,400–£5,000, with total costs of £7,000–£11,000. Being within commuting distance of London means some private clinics price accordingly — always get an itemised quote before comparing.

NHS IVF in Brighton

NHS IVF for Brighton and Hove is commissioned by the NHS Sussex ICB. Current criteria follow the standard English pattern — typically 1 funded cycle for eligible patients under 40, with standard BMI and other requirements. Waiting times should be confirmed with your GP, as Sussex ICB's large population can mean longer lists.

The local picture

Brighton's fertility options are more limited than a city its size might suggest — Agora Clinic and Sussex Fertility are the main choices, with a few smaller providers in the wider Sussex area. For patients in Brighton, Hove, Eastbourne, or Worthing, the local options are generally preferable to travelling to London given the frequency of cycle visits. Patients wanting more choice, or seeking specialist treatments not available locally, typically look to London (about an hour by train from Brighton).
