We are so excited to announce that @NHSEngland,
@HFEA and @NICEComms have issued guidance urging CCGs to #StopTheClock for fertility patients.

The new guidance states “special consideration to the need for flexibility and sensitivity at this time for individuals whose waiting times, investigations or planned treatment have been disrupted due to COVID-19”.

This is a great step forward for equality within fertility care.
Carla is one of many patients affected by the delays due to #Covid19.

We hope CCGs will comply with this new guidance, putting fertility patients worries at bay. #StopTheClock ⏰
In this new lockdown, there won't be another national closure of fertility clinics, but patients are likely to be disrupted & we've already heard about cancellations.

It's so important that CCGs adopt a standardised approach to give patients peace of mind. #StopTheClock ⏰
An investigation in @Telegraph asked CCGs whether they have changed their approach. Shockingly, not a single CCG has adapted their policy so far. #StopTheClock ⏰

We'll be calling on all CCGs to now adapt their policy ASAP to comply with the advice from @NHSEngland regarding the fair treatment of fertility patients. #StopTheClock ⏰

Our Director of Embryology, Marta Jansa Perez, said this is the least fertility patients deserve at the end of an incredibly difficult year. #StopTheClock⏰
