I paid £15,000 for IVF - then the concierge clinic went bust
IVF patients are facing challenges as unregulated "concierge clinics" like Apricity go bust, leaving many without treatment or refunds. These clinics act as intermediaries between patients, donors, and doctors, but do not provide IVF treatment directly, dodging regulatory oversight. The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority calls for strengthened laws to shield patients. While these online clinics offer convenience and flexibility, patients are warned to research thoroughly before opting for their services, especially as the government considers updating fertility laws.
