Policy & Practice

The Policy and Practice sub-committee (P&P) is responsible for the development of policy and practice documents on behalf of ARCS.

The aim of the sub-committee is to develop systematic evidence-based guidelines for reproductive scientists, which aim to facilitate decision making and provide material for patient information. To prevent recapitulation of existing published guidance, ARCS P&P Committee may also produce statements of endorsement of guidelines produced by external bodies.
