About me

Dr Shabana Bora is a Consultant Gynaecologist, Fertility Specialist and co-founder of Alma Fertility in London. Alma Fertility is a satellite fertility clinic offering consultant led, bespoke patient care. Dr Bora consults at a number of private healthcare clinics in London, including Chelsea Outpatients (part of HCA Healthcare), Harley Street and the new LIPS Healthcare facility in Battersea. She is committed in providing an individualised, holistic approach to fertility care and awareness and has broad experience in managing patients with complications of early pregnancy including recurrent miscarriage, PCOS, endometriosis and low (diminished) ovarian reserve.

She worked at the Lister Fertility Clinic, one of the UK's leading fertility centres for over 10 years and has extensive experience in managing fertility patients seeking general advice, support and assisted conception. Dr Bora manages patients seeking IVF, ICSI, IUI, egg and sperm donation and fertility preservation (egg freezing). She is a Consultant Gynaecologist (Locum) at Chelsea and Westminster NHS Trust where she manages gynaecology patients on the rapid access pathway and with benign gynaecological issues.

Dr Bora completed her medical training at Guy's, King's and St Thomas' School of Medicine, London. She attained her core specialist training in Obstetrics and Gynaecology in North West London and has worked at several large teaching hospitals throughout her career. She was a research fellow at the University of St George's and Imperial College London.

Dr Bora has many peer-reviewed publications in medical journals and book chapters. She is a member of the British Fertility Society (BFS), ESHRE, British Menopause Society (BMS) and the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG).

In 2023, she was awarded the 'Fertility Champion' award by the Mariposa Trust, a charity which supports families after pregnancy loss. This was awarded to recognise her work in caring and guiding her patients through the difficult journey of fertility.
