Provide excellent levels of care for your patients
Helping you integrate emotional support and coaching into your day-to-day processes to improve your patient experience and levels of care.
In an increasingly competitive market fertility clinics have to offer more than just higher success rates. Patients are expecting higher levels of emotional support and understanding on how difficult IVF is emotionally as well as physically.
I work with clinics to deliver exceptional levels of whole-person care, by reviewing your end-to-end patient experience and helping you integrate emotional support in to your day to day processes.
As a previous patient, and now supporting over 8,000 other patients, I have a vast understanding of what a good experience looks like, and the support that patients want and need.
After reviewing your current patient journey, I propose a personalised 'Patient Experience Strategy' for offering exceptional levels of support to your patients, and deliver workshops on the emotional impact of treatment and practical tools that you can implement straight away to offer whole-person care to your patients.

NOVA IVI Fertility, Vinesh Gadhia, Chief Operating Officer
The most important result Sarah achieved for our business is that we learnt & understood how critical it is to handle patients emotionally, not only by counsellors but by the whole staff of each centre.
The key benefits we have seen from working with Sarah is the growth in our staff’s ability to understand patients emotionally and handle them accordingly.
In terms of measuring our Return on Investment, I can forecast that with consistent programs & the right follow up, ROI will be promising, and we will work together for the long term for sure.

Yorkshire Fertility, Martin DeBono, Clinical Director
"The results we have seen are really positive; Sarah has made us more aware of the need for support and mostly emotional support during fertility, both before during and after care. Our team have learned to recognise the need for ongoing support and to listen out for cries for help in patients.
Sarah is really easy to get along with. She is professional and organised as well as kind and friendly. Sarah goes above and beyond for her patients and shares our work ethic of putting the patient first.
Sarah is part of the Yorkshire Fertility team and we see her as a colleague and friend who will continue to help to improve our service by contributing to future strategies."
