Lydia Hinde
Donation Practitioner
Lydia’s current role includes working to support Donation Services, the Surrogacy Support Team and Donor Support Team. This includes assessing and appropriately advising potential donors, potential parents via the receipt of gametes, and potential surrogates regarding the next steps of their journey and supporting them in these steps to help the process run as smoothly as possible.
Training
Lydia trained at the University of Chester to complete her degree in Midwifery. Lydia completed her dissertation on women’s experiences of the pregnancy after pregnancy loss.
I love working in Donation because it is so rewarding to work with people as generous as our donors, and to support potential parents on their own unique journey to parenthood. What can be better than that?
