The HFEAs latest clinical governance summary report

The HFEA have published their latest clinical governance summary report that covers some of the common non-compliances identified at inspections, reported incidents and complaints received from April to June 2025. The report highlights key areas of practice where improvements can be made, or where learning and experiences can be shared to benefit other clinics.

This summary aims to provide:
• An overview of the four most common non-compliances between April and June 2025.
• A review of the critical non-compliances.
• A review of the four most common areas of non-compliances (major and other).
• A detailed insight into non-compliances to help centres improve compliance and prepare for inspections.

To promote learning from inspections the HFEA encourage clinics to use the areas outlined in the report as an opportunity to consider how your clinic might approach these issues.

The HFEA, in line with other healthcare regulatory bodies, promotes an open reporting culture where healthcare professionals are more likely to learn from incidents when they feel safe and secure reporting them internally and externally to the appropriate regulatory bodies.
