What I treat

One clinician, from your first period to life beyond menopause.

Hormonal health isn't a series of separate problems — it's one continuous story. Choose a stage to see the conditions I look after there.

Fertility and recurrent miscarriage

Personalised treatment, from ovulation induction through to IVF and ICSI — including care for single patients and same-sex couples.

  • Unexplained infertility
  • Anovulatory infertility
  • Tubal factor
  • Uterine factor
  • Male factor
  • Single patients and same-sex couples
  • Recurrent miscarriage
  • Reduced ovarian reserve
  • Endometriosis
  • PCOS / PMOS

How I work

I want to support my patients through their reproductive and post-reproductive journeys — helping you optimise your experience of any hormonal issue, from puberty and contraception through to perimenopause and menopause.

Care should be thoughtful and holistic. Gynaecological challenges affect people psychologically as well as physically, and they affect the people around them too, so I take both into account when we plan what to do next.

The aim is that you fully understand your condition and your treatment, so the choice you make is genuinely yours.

I hold a Postgraduate Certificate in Medical Education and spent a year as a teaching fellow. I still teach undergraduate and postgraduate colleagues regularly, and I use the same skills in clinic: explaining things clearly, welcoming questions, and taking the anxiety out of care wherever I can.

Training and expertise

The training behind your specialist.

Reproductive medicine

A two-year fellowship in reproductive medicine and IVF, followed by a PhD on unexplained infertility and the role of progesterone. Ovulation induction, superovulation, intrauterine insemination, IVF and ICSI.

Surgery

A fully qualified gynaecological surgeon, experienced in all operative laparoscopy and hysteroscopy as well as open surgery, plus outpatient hysteroscopy and coil fitting.

Ultrasound

Transvaginal and transabdominal scanning for uterine and ovarian function and pathology, endometriosis and other pelvic conditions — so you often get answers in the same appointment.

Menopause

British Menopause Society accredited Advanced Menopause Specialist, managing the full spectrum of perimenopausal, menopausal and POI symptoms.

Obstetrics and Gynaecology

Seven years of core training and completion of the Membership of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (MRCOG) exams, plus an extra year volunteering to run a maternity unit in Zanzibar. Advanced training modules followed in early pregnancy and acute gynaecology, and in advanced labour ward practice. In my NHS role I run the labour ward and manage obstetric and gynaecological emergencies, alongside specialist fertility and menopause clinics, scanning and operating.

Early pregnancy

An advanced training module in early pregnancy and emergency gynaecology care. I manage all early pregnancy complications and recurrent miscarriage, and can scan and support you through the first weeks of a pregnancy.

Teaching

Postgraduate Certificate in Medical Education, a year as a teaching fellow, and ongoing teaching of undergraduate and postgraduate colleagues.

Holistic, lifestyle-centred care

Medical and surgical treatment is only part of the picture. Alongside it I assess and advise in depth on diet, exercise, sleep and supplementation, and take seriously the psychological effects a gynaecological condition has on you and on the people close to you.

Research

A PhD on unexplained infertility and the role of progesterone, an NIHR-funded portfolio of clinical trials, and Associate Editor of The Obstetrician & Gynaecologist, the RCOG's continuing professional development journal. Now leading a £1.6 million trial testing whether luteal phase progesterone can work as a stand-alone treatment. More on the research →

Awarded to run a clinical trial built on her own PhD hypothesis

Presenting the PiNC trial findings at ESHRE, 2023.

Asking whether the simpler treatment might be the better one.

My research background led me to question whether simpler treatments might work for couples with unexplained infertility, who are often moved quickly towards IVF. I recently won a bid to run a clinical trial testing the idea I developed during my PhD: luteal phase progesterone as a stand-alone treatment. The grant has allowed us to set up a large multi-centre trial, which will start recruiting imminently.

Practically, it means the advice you get in clinic comes from someone reading and generating the evidence, not just applying it.

More about me

When I'm not in clinic I'm usually baking and decorating cakes, out running, on the Peloton or lifting weights. I'm always in the middle of several books. Happy to swap a recipe or book recommendation any time.

Insurance

I am recognised by Bupa, and registration with several other insurers is in progress — please ask when you enquire. If you are using private medical insurance, confirm cover with your insurer before your appointment and bring your membership and authorisation numbers with you. If your insurer does not authorise a particular test or treatment, that part is charged at the self-pay rate.

Cancellations

Cancel more than 24 hours before your appointment and you will be refunded in full. Cancel within 24 hours and half the fee is refunded. Missed appointments are charged at the full fee. Please let my team know as early as you can and we will move you to another slot wherever possible.

What isn't included

Blood tests, imaging beyond the scans listed, procedures and treatment cycles are charged separately. You will always be given the cost before anything goes ahead — you will never receive a bill for something you did not agree to.

Fees are a guide and are confirmed when you book.

Before your appointment

What happens next.

  1. You get in touch

    Send an enquiry through the form below or email admin@drclaudiaraperport.co.uk. If you are paying for yourself, you do not need a GP referral. If you are using private medical insurance, please confirm cover with your insurer first — most will want a referral and an authorisation code before your appointment.

  2. We find you an appointment

    My team will offer you a time at Battersea, or a video consultation if that suits you better. You'll be asked to complete a short registration form and a medical history questionnaire beforehand, which means we spend your appointment talking rather than filling in forms.

  3. Send anything you already have

    Previous test results, scan reports, clinic letters or details of past treatment are all worth sending in advance. If you've had fertility treatment elsewhere, the cycle details are particularly helpful. I read everything before you arrive.

  4. Your consultation

    We'll go through your history properly, and I can usually scan you in the same appointment if that's useful. You'll leave with a clear explanation of what's going on, the options available, and a written plan. A letter follows to you and, with your permission, your GP.

Getting here

I consult at London International Patient Services (LIPS), inside Battersea Power Station.

  • Underground Battersea Power Station, on the Northern line — a few minutes' walk from the station exit.
  • Rail Queenstown Road and Vauxhall are both nearby, with Victoria a short hop away.
  • Bus Several routes stop directly outside the development.
  • River Uber Boat by Thames Clippers stops at Battersea Power Station pier.
  • Driving and cycling There is on-site parking beneath the building, and cycle racks around the site.

Follow the signs for LIPS or the Clinic from the main concourse. Do allow a few extra minutes on your first visit; the building is bigger than it looks.

Appointments

Let's start with a conversation.

Please don't include detailed medical information here — we'll take a full history at your appointment. If you need urgent help, contact your GP or NHS 111.

What happens to your details: the information you send here is used only to respond to your enquiry and arrange an appointment. It is not shared with anyone outside my practice team, and is never used for marketing. Enquiry records are kept for up to 12 months unless you become a patient, in which case they are held with your clinical records under the usual medical retention rules. You can ask at any time to see what is held about you or to have it deleted. More detail is in my privacy notice.
