Ms Jara Ben Nagi
Ms Ben Nagi is a Consultant Gynaecologist and accredited specialist in Reproductive Medicine and Surgery, with extensive expertise in fertility care
and advanced reproductive treatments.
She graduated from Guy’s, King’s and St Thomas’ Medical School andcompleted her specialist training in Obstetrics and Gynaecology at several leading London teaching hospitals, including King’s College Hospital, Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospital, and Chelsea and Westminster Hospital.
Alongside her clinical training, Ms Ben Nagi undertook a dedicated two-year research fellowship investigating factors that influence the intrauterine environment and early implantation. This work led to the award of
a Doctor of Medicine (MD) research degree from the University of London in 2009. She has published extensively in high-impact peer-reviewed journals,
including Human Reproduction, The Lancet Oncology, and Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology.
In 2013, she was appointed Consultant at a leading fertility centre, where she developed and led specialised programmes including preimplantation
genetic testing and surrogacy services. She later served as Medical Director and Person Responsible, working with a multidisciplinary team to enhance
clinical outcomes and significantly improve pregnancy success rates within the clinic. Most recently, she was appointed as a consultant to lead the Recurrent Implantation Failure clinic at Bart's NHS trust.
Ms Ben Nagi has extensive experience in the management of couples with infertility, including ovulatory dysfunction, recurrent implantation failure,
recurrent miscarriage, poor ovarian reserve and male factor infertility. She also has a particular interest in women considering social egg freezing. Her debate article on social egg freezing attracted significant media attention and resulted in interviews and features across major outlets, including the BBC,
Sky News and national newspapers.
She is recognised for her patient-centred approach, combining scientific expertise with personalised care. She leaves no “stone unturned”. Unlike busy fertility clinics where one can see their consultant once or twice during their journey, she will be there for you throughout your journey from consultations,
scans and procedures. Ms Ben Nagi is committed to delivering evidence-based treatment and believes in empowering patients through clear discussion of the
available options so they can make informed decisions about their fertility journey.
