Fertility Consent is designed to help patients navigate the medical and legal issues involved with fertility treatment in an easy and convenient way.

Providing fertility clinics with a robust informed consent process.

For over seven years we have helped fertility clinics in the public and private sectors transform their informed consent process. Our platform ensure patients receive the correct medical treatment information, along with the supporting legal and clinic consent forms – with a full audit trail of the consent process from start to finish. Fertility Consent comprises a number of modules which focus on the three key areas for day-to-day clinic operations:

The patient experience

Each clinic has its own branded Patient Portal with language and accessibility support, that allows patients to conveniently complete their informed consent materials away from the clinic on their computers, tablets and smartphones.

Included is a a ready to use library of materials with supporting videos which explains each fertility treatment and each HFEA form in a clear and engaging way.

The need for compliance

Fertility clinics in the UK are regulated by the Human Fertilisation and Embryo Authority (HFEA) and have to demonstrate full compliance with the HFEA regulations.

There are options for confirming a patients identity and marital status, and our proprietary algorithms ensure the correct HFEA forms are issued.

There is a full audit trail that tracks each event in confirming a patient’s consent, and clinic staff are alerted to any inconsistencies on forms. They can also be automatically notified when specific forms have been completed.

As you would expect we are fully compliant with GDPR legislation NHS data protection standards and eIDAS regulations for digital signatures.

Delivering clinic efficiencies

Our clinics tell us that the main efficency is in saved staff time and a reduction in clinic visits as patients complete their consent materials at home. This saved time allows clinic staff to spend more time delivering treatment services to patients when they are in clinic.

The second area of clinic effecincy comes from moving the consenting process onlune, reducing the amount of paperwork to handle, post and store.

As well as being an ethical requirement, fertility clinics must demonstrate a robust informed consent process to ensure patients receive all the correct information in relation to both the medical and legal aspects of their fertility treatment.
