Picking NHS clinic?

We’ve been referred by the GP and asked to pick a clinic from 3. One seems the best option just because it’s closest so more
practical, none of them had a rating on the NHS app, I’ve done a bit of googling but nothing anecdotal has come up really.
Should I be doing more research or is it more “get what you’re given” if it’s NHS treatment?

the waiting times on the nhs app also make no sense, they said around 18 weeks for starting treatment but then one says 999 days for first appointment?

I wasn't given a choice, just referred to an NHS hospital and got given an appointment within 8-10 weeks(ish). Have you looked at the HFEA website? They'll have the live birth rates for each clinic and can be helpful in choosing which clinic might be best for you

Hi @Wisteria25 I would recommend going for the clinic nearest to you as there can be quite a few appointments and reducing travelling time really helps with the stress - good luck!x
