  Head of laboratory of human reproduction is responsible for the laboratory aspects of assisted reproduction techniques and must ensure that the laboratory environment is appropriate and safe and that appropriate numbers of suitably qualified staff are available to meet the workload. There is also responsibility for the implementation of an effective quality management system as well as for the hiring and training of laboratory staff and for their continuing professional development. Effective communication with patients, colleagues and other health professionals is a must and administrative responsibilities include creating and managing the laboratory budget and effective resource management, as well as the implementation and maintenance of an effective laboratory records management system. Show less Clinical embryologists do not fit neatly into any of the traditional categories of laboratory workers, such as technician or technologist. Rather, they are more like ‘practitioners’ in the general sense of the word, rather than the specific sense used in the UK in the definition of roles in clinical embryology.This is because the work of the clinical embryologist is typified by a high degree of technical skill and experience, extensive knowledge of many other, non-laboratory aspects of assisted reproduction technique treatment, and day-today responsibility for making many of the routine, but crucial, decisions that directly affect patients’ treatment, (albeit within the context of documented policies approved by the Medical Director). This represents a very different situation to most other ‘medical laboratories’ that are directed by a physician with specialist training in specific areas of laboratory medicine (Jose Roberto Alegretti, et al., The Alpha Consensus Meeting on the professional status of the clinical embryologist: proceedings of an expert meeting, Reproductive BioMedicine Online (2015), doi: 10.1016/j.rbmo.2015.01.016).
