HFEA consultationHave your say - HFEA consultation on presenting clinic performance and outcome data

The HFEA would like your views on how to present clinic performance and outcome data to best inform patient choice, promote good clinical practice and support HFEA policies.

A discussion document will review ways to present success rates in the most useful and meaningful way and consider the benefits of adopting a more holistic approach such as providing information about patient experience, clinical safety and quality of service of clinics.

Taking part
The HFEA consultation on presenting clinic performance and outcome data is split over two parts:

Part one
Read the discussion document and respond to our online questionnaire below by 15th December 2008.

Discussion document

Respond to the online questionnaire


Part two
Your feedback from part one will help us develop a range of models that will illustrate different options for presenting clinic performance. In part two of this consultation we will seek further feedback on these models. This will take place in January and February 2009.
