Latest decisions on clinics
We give licences to carry out fertility treatment or human embryo research. The most recent decisions about clinics and embryo research projects are below including whether a licence has been renewed or if any regulatory action has been taken.
Each page on Choose a Fertility Clinic (CaFC) also has inspection reports, as well as other information such as patients’ ratings and success rates. You can find out more information about our committees and how we regulate.
