Confidentiality
Your care and treatment in the ACU is strictly
confidential. We will need to write to your GP or the doctor who referred
you to us to let them know what tests or treatment you are undergoing and
the outcome. You will be asked to complete a consent form allowing us to
write to them. If you have any objections to this please let us know
immediately. If your treatment involves donor eggs, donor sperm or IF, we
are required by law to inform the HFEA. Of course, they keep this
information confidential as well.
Welfare of the Child
We have a statutory duty to take into account the
welfare of any children born as a result of fertility treatment.
In order to do this we will:-
1. Ask you details about yourselves
2. write to your GP and other health care workers
who may have been looking after you in the past
We may:-
1. Ask for a formal assessment by an independent
team
2. Refer your case to our ethical committee
3. If you do not give your consent to write to your
GP we will need to understand the reasons why."
Our aim
1. We aim to offer a friendly and caring
environment within the Unit and our goals are simple. We want to provide the
best possible care for each individual couple to give them the best chance
of achieving a pregnancy.
