Notice of CCG closure

From 1 July 2022 please visit our new ICB website https://staffsstoke.icb.nhs.uk/

On 1 July 2022, the six Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) in Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent closed down and the functions of the CCGs transferred to a new NHS organisation, known as an integrated care board. The new organisation is responsible for NHS spend and the day-to-day running of the NHS in Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent.

Therefore, Staffords Surround Clinical Commissioning Group no longer exists and the responsibilities of the CCG, along with the other CCGs in Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent, have transferred to the new NHS Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Integrated Care Board (ICB).

These changes have taken place under the new Health and Care Act 2022, which amongst other things aims to tackle health inequalities and create safer, more joined-up services that will put the health and care system on a more sustainable footing. There are no changes to how local residents access NHS frontline services in Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent as part of these changes.

From 1 July 2022 if you visit this website, you will be re-directed to the new ICB website.

Assisted Conception Services

on 26 October 2017.

South Staffordshire CCGs have selected six assisted conception centres, as they meet our standard specification and quality requirements. The CCGs therefore endorse all six of these centres.

When choosing your assisted conception centre there are a number of factors you may wish to consider. Further information is provided on The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) website http://www.hfea.gov.uk

You can use the HFEA “Choose a Fertility Clinic” service to find the clinic that’s right for you. If you’re an NHS patient, use it to research the clinic you’ll be having treatment at. If you’re currently receiving, or have recently had treatment, they also want to hear your thoughts. https://www.hfea.gov.uk/choose-a-clinic/clinic-search/

It is important to understand you may be required to make frequent visits to your chosen centre, so it must be one to which you are prepared and able to travel. It should be convenient to reach from both your home and place of work as appointments may be scheduled during working hours.
