Who Raj Mathur is

Dr Raj Mathur is a Consultant Gynaecologist and Subspecialist in Reproductive Medicine and Surgery at St Mary's Hospital, Manchester, part of Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust, where he has been a consultant since 2014. He is a Fellow of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (MD, FRCOG) and is recognised as an authority on Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS), serving as lead author of both the British Fertility Society and Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists guidelines on the condition. He is a former Chair of the British Fertility Society (BFS) and served as an external advisor to the Scientific and Clinical Advances Advisory Committee of the HFEA. He founded Cambridge IVF, an NHS assisted conception unit, in 2010, before moving to Manchester. He was co-chair of the group that produced the UK national guidelines for clinics resuming fertility treatment after the Covid-19 pandemic, and serves on the editorial boards of the journals Obstetrics, Gynaecology and Reproductive Medicine and Fertility Science and Research.

“There's been a neglect of male fertility issues. At the moment the number of tests for men that are evidence-based is relatively small. We really need more money to research what the appropriate tests for men are through randomised control trials looking at different interventions to see if they actually make a difference.”
