Newlife IVF Greece Takes a Look at the Guidelines to Getting NHS Funded IVF in the UK

In the UK, IVF is offered by the National Health System (NHS) to individuals who meet specific criteria. Access to IVF treatment on the NHS is determined by the recommendations and fertility guidelines set by The National Institute for Care Excellence (NICE). You can learn more about the NICE fertility recommendations on NHS funded IVF treatment here.

While the NICE establishes fertility guidelines and recommendations, the final verdict on who receives NHS funded IVF treatment comes from the Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs). England has over 208 Clinical Commissioning Groups, which are responsible for planning and determining which person receives health care services in their local area. The CCGs follow stricter criteria than NICE when making the final decision about who is eligible for NHS-funded IVF in their area.

The British Pregnancy Advisory (BPAS), expresses concern over to how accessible NHS funded fertility treatments are, as 80% CCGs have set limitations that contradict NICE guidelines. Most commonly noticed discrepancies refer to funding fewer number of treatment cycles per person, lower cut off female age (e.g. 48% have an age limit of 42 years old and about 10% an age limit of 35 years old) and BMI restrictions (96% of CCGs for female BMI and 24% of CCGs for male BMI), requiring a longer time period for unsuccessful natural conception tries. These limitations can lead to patients losing precious time, which can impact negatively the success rates of future treatment cycles.

The proportion of IVF treatments funded by the NHS has continued to plummet in England. Many patients are finding it hard to attain the criteria set by their local CCGs. Therefore, they are opting to seek treatment options privately. IVF treatment costs vary from one clinic to the next and one country to the next. However, within Europe, Greece is considered to have some of the most affordable IVF clinics.

So if you have found out that you are not eligible for the state-funded IVF treatment, and you need to seek private help, when you compare the cost of fertility treatment in UK’s private clinics to that of clinics in Greece, you will understand why the number of people seeking IVF abroad has increased significantly in the last few years.
