Good practice in clinical embryology laboratories: Association of Reproductive and Clinical Scientists Guidelines 2024

Clinical embryology is a dynamic and ever-evolving field, and as such clinical practice guidelines must be regularly reviewed and updated. Accordingly, this document supersedes previous good clinical practice in clinical embryology guidance, developing, and updating where necessary, existing good practice guidelines. The Association of Reproductive and Clinical Scientists (ARCS) suggests this Good Laboratory Practice framework as appropriate and effective to ensure the best possible care for all individuals undertaking fertility treatment. Efforts have been made to ensure that the language used is inclusive and reflective of the wide range of patients who seek treatment. The guidance provided within this document aims to be relevant within an international context and to consider the range of regulatory considerations affecting clinical embryology laboratories. This guideline was written to guide best practice but is not intended as a tool to judge the practice of centres within the UK or beyond.
