Using a Known Donor at a UK HFEA Clinic - What You Need to Know

Paths to Parenthub Podcast

In this special episode of the Paths to Parenthub Podcast, Becky and Hayley are joined by not one, but two leading specialists in donor conception. We welcome Anest Mathias, solicitor and legal expert at TV Edwards, and Mr. James Nicolopoulos, consultant gynaecologist at The Lister Clinic, to explore a topic that is often less talked about: using a known egg or sperm donor at a UK HFEA licensed clinic.

Together, they unpack:

• The step by step process of using a known donor in a clinic setting
• Legal, medical, and emotional considerations for intended parents and donors
• The potential pros and cons of this path to parenthood
• What needs to be considered if using a known donor outside of a clinic, and how the legal position can differ
• The wider implications for families and children
• Honest, frank conversations to help bring greater clarity and confidence

If you’ve ever wondered what this journey looks like, this episode will give you valuable insights from both the legal and medical perspectives, helping you make informed decisions.
