HFEA Codes of Practice

The HFEA Codes of Practice are guidelines established by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority in the UK. They ensure that organizations involved in fertility treatments, like IVF, adhere to high standards of care and ethical practices. The Codes cover areas such as the handling of human embryos, patient consent, and the management of reproductive technologies. They aim to protect patients’ rights, promote safety, and support the responsible use of scientific advancements in reproduction. Compliance with these codes is essential for clinics to operate legally and ethically in providing fertility services.
