Regional Fertility Centre, Belfast
Regional Fertility Centre, Belfast has been licensed by us since 1992. It is a small-sized clinic offering all fertility treatments. Data is not currently being displayed as the centre, until recently, has been unable to submit their data to the HFEA for processing due to technical issues
The data shown below is old because we are rolling out a new system for clinics to submit their data to us. This is a large project requiring clinics to check data for over 420,000 cycles. Once complete in 2025, you will be able to see data on treatments from January 2020 to December 2023, and births from January 2019 to December 2022.
The Choose a Fertility Clinic pages show data on births from 2018, and pregnancies from 2019. Clinics may have their own more recent data, which can’t be compared to a national average and remains unverified by the HFEA until our new system is completed.
Clinic profile accordion
We inspect all clinics against our standards. This clinic's inspection rating is:
All clinics must have a licence to operate. Our inspectors visit the clinic and look at the laboratory and equipment, the clinic’s consent and other procedures and the patient information. We also interview patients for their views. We use the inspector’s assessment to decide how long the licence should be. This determines the rating.
Last inspection: 29 September 2021
