Confidentiality
Your clinic holds identifying information about you, such as your name, address and date of birth, as well as information about your treatment or care. By law, your clinic must submit some of this information to the HFEA to be stored on a secure fertility treatment database called the HFEA Register.
Sometimes your clinic may want to share some of this identifying information with other parties. For example:
- to discuss your medical history with your GP to plan the most appropriate treatment
- to discuss your treatment with another healthcare professional outside your clinic (eg, gynaecologists or oncologists at another hospital) to give you the best possible medical care
The Fertility Centre is not allowed to share identifying information with these parties unless you provide your written consent for this (apart from in a medical emergency).
