Open Authority meetings

You can see first hand how we do our work by coming along to an Open Authority meeting.

At Authority meetings, members of the Authority discuss and determine HFEA policy and practice on a wide range of issues relating to its regulatory role, assisted conception treatments and human embryo research.

The decisions the Authority makes are central to the work of the clinics and research centres that we license and matter to thousands of fertility patients across the UK.

Register

Our Open Authority meetings are free and are open to members of the public and to all clinic staff. Space is usually limited, so we ask people to register in advance.

For further information or to register, contact Alan Tipping on 020 7291 8233 or email openmeeting@hfea.gov.uk
