Our goals
The HFEA strives to:
- be an effective regulator commanding stakeholder confidence by ensuring compliance with the law
- inform patient choice, securely hold personal data, and maximise public understanding (of available and developing treatments, embryology research, and the HFEA and its role)
- encourage consistently high quality standards of treatment and research in the sector by putting the patient experience first
- be an effective organisation with strong governance that adds value and reduces bureaucracy
- ensure the HFEA and the sector keep abreast of new scientific and research developments through continued collaborative working with scientific and professional bodies
- recognise and address the needs of the HFEA’s many and varied audiences, and specifically to consider the patient experience in all our work.
Our priorities for 2009 and 2010 will be:
- to implement the HFE Act 2008
- to continue to deliver the same level of service during organisation change.
