IAMRegen Centres of Excellence

Recognised centres. One published standard.

IAMRegen Centre recognition is a voluntary, time-limited professional recognition scheme. It is not a licence to practise, regulatory approval or a guarantee of treatment outcome. Recognition is awarded only after assessment against published governance, safety, quality, evidence, education and transparency criteria.

The standard

Seven essential checks.

One short application · five uploads maximum · a Visiting Fellowship at the centre. The process is credible but not paperwork-heavy.

1Identity and lead

The organisation/site is accurately named and a current IAMRegen Fellow is responsible for the relationship.

2Regulated and insured

The permissions, professional/facility/laboratory registrations and insurance required for the declared work are current.

3Safe and ethical

Proportionate consent, privacy, safeguarding, incident/adverse-event and complaint arrangements are in place.

4Quality in practice

Controlled processes, trained people and suitable facilities/equipment; the centre learns from incidents or audit.

5Evidence and outcomes

Evidence is reviewed and clinical, laboratory, research or service quality is monitored, appropriate to scope.

6Honest public claims

Public information does not overstate evidence, regulation, “stem cells”, certification, outcomes or IAMRegen endorsement; relevant conflicts are declared.

7Collaboration

The centre supports the Visiting Fellowship pathway and provides at least one IAMRegen MDT, teaching or case/science contribution each year.

How recognition works

Apply, review, recognise.

01
Apply
One short application against the seven essential checks, with no more than five supporting evidence items (public-register or institutional links may replace uploads).
02
Independent review
At least two unconflicted reviewers hold a 30–45 minute conversation. There is no routine site inspection. Founder-linked organisations receive no automatic designation and complete the same assessment.
03
Decision
Approve, Approve with minor actions, Not yet, or Decline — with short reasons. A €100 administration and brand-licence fee is payable only after approval and does not purchase status.
04
Recognise & renew
Recognition runs for a two-year term on the public register, with a simple annual six-tick confirmation and one Visiting Fellowship offer per term. Clear withdrawal and appeal provisions apply.
A Visiting Fellowship runs at least once during each two-year term; visitor feedback is used as useful renewal evidence instead of extra paperwork. Each public listing shows the designation, scope (Clinical / Laboratory / Combined), lead Fellow, country, effective date, expiry/reassessment date and current status — for example: “IAMRegen Centre of Excellence — Clinical — valid until [date].” The full standard, decision process, reassessment cadence, withdrawal grounds and appeal route are published before applications are accepted.
The public register

Recognised centres, on the map.

Each recognised centre is entered on the public register with its designation, scope and validity dates — a signal patients and partners can check.

Centre of Excellence FAQ

Recognition, not accreditation.

What is an IAMRegen Centre of Excellence?

A clinic or laboratory recognised by IAMRegen under a published standard (governance, safety, quality, evidence, education and transparency). It comes in three scopes — Clinical, Laboratory or Combined. Recognition is voluntary and time-limited.

How recognition works
Is this regulatory accreditation or certification?

No. Recognition is not regulatory approval, a licence to practise, a clinical recommendation, a guarantee of outcome or a certification of every practitioner, product or treatment connected with a centre. It is a professional recognition under a published standard.

Read the standard
How does a clinic or laboratory apply?

A centre completes one short application against the seven essential checks with up to five supporting evidence items, then joins a 30–45 minute conversation with two unconflicted reviewers. There is no routine site inspection.

Start an application
What does it cost, and when?

A €100 administration and brand-licence fee covers the two-year term. It is payable only after approval and does not purchase or upgrade status.

Apply to be recognised
Who can apply?

Fellow-led clinics and laboratories, with a current IAMRegen Fellow accountable as lead. Recognition is time-limited and entered on the public register; it may be suspended or withdrawn for material non-compliance or misleading claims, with a right of appeal within 20 working days.
