National UK fertility register (HFEA Register)

From the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 1990 Act, all NHS and private licensed fertility clinics in the UK are required by law to submit information on the treatments they carry out to the HFEA’s national fertility register. The HFEA holds information on fertility treatments, patients, partners, donors and children born as a result of these treatments in the UK on a secure database, which is believed to be the longest running national database of its kind in the world. Person-level and cycle-level data can be available for research via the Register Research Panel (RRP). See further information at our data research webpage (https://www.hfea.gov.uk/about-us/data-research/) which includes guidance and relevant documentation for submitting an application. You can find publicly available HFEA Register summary data at the following webpages: - Research and Data page(https://www.hfea.gov.uk/about-us/publications/research-and-data/) - HFEA dashboard (https://www.hfea.gov.uk/about-us/hfea-dashboard/) In the HFEA Register, the term 'cycle' covers the range of reasons patients undergo fertility treatment, including IVF, fertility preservation and egg or sperm donation.
