Bourn Hall – Pioneering IVF and a Legacy of Training Excellence
The history of Bourn Hall Clinic is closely intertwined with the extraordinary journey of In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF), a revolutionary technique that has brought hope and joy to countless couples across the globe.
The Birth of Bourn Hall
Bourn Hall Clinic, situated in Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom, was founded in 1980 by the pioneering team of Dr. Patrick Steptoe, Professor Robert Edwards, and Jean Purdy. Dr. Steptoe, an experienced gynaecologist, and Professor Edwards, a trailblazer in reproductive biology, had devoted years of effort to perfect the IVF technique. This method aimed to help infertile couples achieve their dream of parenthood. Their dedication culminated in the historic birth of Louise Brown, the world’s first “test-tube baby,” in 1978.
Legacy of Excellence
Bourn Hall’s significance transcends its role as the birthplace of IVF. Over the years, the clinic has been at the forefront of research, innovation, and clinical care in the field of reproductive medicine. Their commitment to excellence in patient care, ethical practice, and ongoing research has made Bourn Hall a centre of excellence in reproductive medicine.

42 years on from the first ever international IVF meeting – Human Conception in Vitro – held at Bourn Hall, the clinic’s commitment to education continues.
