Sara Beveridge

Vice Chair

Senior Clinical Nurse Specialist for Fertility Preservation and Donor Co-ordinator

Sara Beveridge trained at Napier University in Edinburgh and qualified as an Adult Nurse in 2000, since then she has gained a BSc in Sexual Health Nursing, become a registered Independent Non Medical Prescriber, gained BFS and then MSc level accreditation in Ultrasound Scanning for Fertility and in Early Pregnancy and in 2020 completed an MSc in Advanced Fertility Practice at Edgehill University. 

Initially working in Oncology and Gynaecology wards, Sara realised early on that her interests lay within reproductive health. She began her first fertility nursing post in the Edinburgh Fertility and Reproductive Endocrinology Centre in 2003. Moving North several years later, Sara took a career diversion through Sexual Health which led to her co-leading 'Health Buddies in Schools', a peer led sex education project in 4 secondary schools in Dundee. She then had the opportunity to join the team of Fertility Nurses at Ninewells ACU in Dundee, where she stayed for 8 years, developing her skills, completing a masters degree and for a short while, in addition, worked alongside midwives in the Early Pregnancy Assessment Clinic. In 2019, she rejoined the Tayside Sexual and Reproductive Health Service as a Clinical Nurse Specialist. Although this was a really interesting post within a great team she missed fertility nursing and exactly 4 years later returned to Ninewells ACU as a Donor Coordinator and Senior Clinical Nurse Specialist for Fertility Preservation.

In this role Sara jointly manages the waiting lists for treatment with donated eggs and sperm, recruits donors and supports people through their journey of treatment using donor gametes. She is an LGBTQ+ ally and works closely with trans people prior to transitioning treatment and with people facing medical, surgical or cancer treatment to enable them to freeze their eggs, sperm or embryos before they begin treatment likely to affect their future fertility. She is also part of the multidisciplinary surrogacy team, working with both surrogates and intended parents. Sara enjoys having her own clinics and strives to ensure her patients feel well informed and supported. She is a member of the Fertility Preservation special interest groups for both the Scottish Fertility Network and the British Fertility Society and is excited for the opportunity to be a voice for Fertility Nurses in Scotland in the Fertility Nursing forum.

Natasha Witchell

I qualified as an adult nurse in 2015 and began my nursing career on a gynaecology ward in the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff. I always knew even during my nurse training that I had a desire to become a fertility nurse. I embarked on my diploma in pelvic and early pregnancy ultrasound whilst working on the Gynaecology ward and simultaneously was able to secure a job as a junior fertility nurse in CRGW.

Since starting in fertility in 2019 I have found a special interest in gamete donation and became the sperm donor co-ordinator for the clinic. Supporting sperm donors through the process has been a very rewarding aspect of my job and to then see how these altruistic donations have created families has been a full circle experience for me. I also complete embryo transfers for patients and my goal in the future is ensure that the whole nursing team acquire this clinical skill. I am currently embarking on my nurse prescriber course and look forward to bringing this independent prescribing skill to our patients particularly in our satellite clinical settings. I recently completed a HYCOSY course in St Bartholomew's Hospital in London, the hope is to set up this nurse led HYCOSY service within the clinic in the near future.

I now work as a nurse lead for the CARE Cardiff clinic and thoroughly enjoy my role empowering junior nurses and ensuring they have all the opportunities to enhance their clinical knowledge. I would describe myself as a compassionate nurse that approaches fertility care holistically and ensures that patient centred care is always at the heart of my decision making. I continuously look for opportunities to develop my clinical skills with the aim always being to improve patient care.

I feel very excited and privileged to join the fertility nursing forum committee in 2024 and help to continue the passionate approach to empower and educate fertility nurses so that we are able to provide the best care outcomes for our patients.
