Events

Annual Conference

The PET 2024 conference will see 19 experts gather for what is possibly the largest and most in-depth discussion on the status of the human embryo since the Warnock Report 40 years ago. We hope that you can join the debate on 4 December in London.

Upcoming events

Engagement

PET aims to improve choices for people affected by infertility or genetic conditions. We do this in a variety of ways including policy work and education and by engaging with a wide range of stakeholders.

How do we govern SCBEM research?

Research involving SCBEMs has enormous potential to improve human knowledge and health, but clearer governance is needed to help researchers work responsibly and maintain public trust. The SCBEM Code of Practice, published jointly by Cambridge Reproduction and PET, supports the development of best practice.

PET Fertility Policy Tracker

In England there is a huge disparity in people’s ability to access NHS-funded fertility treatment. Check what level of IVF treatment is available from your Integrated Care Board (ICB).

Fertility, Genomics and Embryo Research: Public Attitudes and Understanding

PET commissioned Ipsos to carry out a nationally representative survey of 2,233 UK adults to assess their attitudes to fertility, genomics and embryo research. The results make fascinating reading and are accompanied by expert commentary.
