CT Fertility, one of the leading IVF and egg donation centers in the USA, appoints Richard Westoby as UK-based European Client Service Representative
London, UK (PRWEB UK) 25 July 2013 -- CT Fertility today announced the appointment of Richard Westoby, a former surrogacy client and a now father of twins, as its UK client service representative. The appointment of Richard, along with other regional client service representatives in Israel and France, is part of several steps which CT Fertility is taking to enhance services and accessibility to international clients.
According to Dr. Michael Doyle, CT Fertility’s medical director, the traditional cultural and regulatory challenges that international patients face can be significantly minimized by instituting specific protocols which can then be supported by the international network of top quality doctors, labs and support service professionals which CT Fertility has established. Richard and the other regional representatives will work with such local providers and organizations to improve journey coordination and support, foster more cooperative arrangements, and conduct outreach and educational activities to prospective parents.
Based in London, Richard with his partner became the parents of twins in September 2012. While Richard felt that their surrogacy agency could have managed the process better and with more transparency, he was encouraged by the professional and personal support of Dr. Doyle and the CT Fertility team. Indeed it took only one IVF attempt to achieve the desired twin pregnancy and the birth of a healthy boy and girl. “As a patient, I gained first-hand experience of the IVF process and the workings of surrogacy, and came to appreciate CT Fertility’s unique approach to helping international clients,” said Richard. “As a same-sex couple, starting out on the journey to parenthood can be exceptionally daunting; for a straight couple who are emotionally drained from the inability to start their own family, it can be exhausting. In breaking down the steps required into their component parts, explaining the options available and ultimately viewing each new patient’s situation holistically, Dr Doyle is effectively empowering prospective parents to make the most informed decisions possible about starting a family. I hope that by acting as a local ‘go-to’ person, I could be of immeasurable help.”
Now acting as CT Fertility’s UK-based European client service representative, Richard will play a critical role in creating similar successful, seamless IVF journeys of fellow prospective parents, while adding no additional fees or expenses to the IVF process. “We believe that as a local resource Richard can further enhance the ability of CT Fertility to provide valued support to UK and other European intended parents,” said Dr. Doyle. “He will become an accessible resource of reliable information and clear advice, and improve the experience of couples and individuals throughout every step of the IVF and surrogacy journey as he has been through it. This also includes the period after the medical process is over and the family returns home, when a whole different set of questions emerge. We are pleased that Richard has numerous contacts within the legal field that can assist with UK immigration and the required parental orders.”
Richard’s role will also include outreach to people who are considering using the range of US fertility options that are usually unavailable in Europe, including egg donation, egg freezing and surrogacy. He will present prospective parents with clear and up to date information about the various parenting options CT Fertility offers, and support them through both the decision making process and the actual journey. With the help of other professionals and surrogacy parents, he will also provide information and support on a special section on the clinic’s web site, a dedicated Facebook group, and via local support groups.
Richard is also facilitating CT Fertility’s efforts to extend and enhance professional ties with supplementary fertility service providers in the UK, and provide advice and referrals to local clients when they require these services. This cooperation already allows clients to do much of the preliminary screening and monitoring work locally, and thereby reduce the amount of time spent away from home, with the added related expenses and stress of traveling to the US.
