This essential survival guide for successfully managing the modern-day IVF clinic condenses a wealth of expertise and experience from the authors in trou-bleshooting and implementing quality management in the IVF laboratory.

Quality and risk management are thus becoming hot topics for those working in IVF clinics and this book.
