Editorial note: VERIFIED across independent sources: HFEA registry, Cambridge Network news, The Org, PET/Progress.org, CQC, NHS, Wikipedia. CORRECTION to candidate data: the immediate CEO predecessor to Dr Thanos Papathanasiou was Dr Mike Macnamee (per Cambridge Network + Bourn Hall news), NOT Dr Thomas Mathews — Mathews was a former Group Medical Director (2006–2017) and is now Emeritus (current:false). Current CEO & Medical Director is Dr Thanos Papathanasiou (current:true, confirmed via multiple 2019+ appointment reports). Email [email protected] and phone 01954 717210 independently confirmed via CQC, NHS and clinic FAQ.
