Hey there! If you’ve ever wondered what it means to be PIF TICK verified, let me break it down for you in simple terms. The Patient Information Forum (PIF) TICK is essentially a badge of honor for trustworthy health information in the UK. It’s like the gold standard that lets you know you’re getting reliable, evidence-based insights from organizations like OVUM when it comes to fertility and conception.

So, why should you care about PIF TICK? Well, it’s all about making it easier for you to access accurate information that can help you make informed choices about your fertility journey. Whenever you see the PIF TICK, whether it’s on a website, app, or even on a leaflet, you can rest assured that the information has gone through extensive vetting. In fact, the World Health Organization has recognized the importance of certifications like PIF TICK in combating misinformation in healthcare—pretty cool, right?

At OVUM, we prioritize being PIF certified. From the very start, I wanted to ensure that our brand stood for trustworthy information because we know how confusing and overwhelming trying to conceive can be. It can feel like you’re on a never-ending quest for answers about your fertility health, whether you’re looking for simple facts about your cycle or seeking support in your journey. I mean, who hasn’t felt frustrated trying to get a doctor to listen or secure that all-important referral to an IVF clinic? It’s exhausting! So, our goal with PIF TICK approval is to make your experience a bit smoother and more manageable.

Additionally, we’re proud to give back. We donate 20% of our profits to fund independent research into infertility causes. This commitment sets us apart and allows us to work alongside you—our customer—to enhance awareness and understanding of infertility, paving the way for better treatments and solutions for future generations.

Now, you might be curious about what we had to do to earn the PIF TICK. What makes us unique is our commitment to scientific evidence; we conduct an annual review of the latest research. If new findings suggest a better formula, we update our products to ensure you’re getting the best chance of conception. We were already meeting many PIF standards, but we needed to formalize our processes. After a thorough review of our content, we established a clear system to ensure we meet the high standards required.

To be awarded the PIF TICK, we had to demonstrate that we follow ten key steps, including:

  1. Creating reliable information through a structured process.
  2. Training and supporting our team to produce quality content.
  3. Developing information based on gaps identified by those experiencing infertility.
  4. Basing our content on the latest evidence.
  5. Involving individuals living with infertility and healthcare professionals in our content creation.
  6. Using clear and accessible language.
  7. Making our information easy to find and use.
  8. Collecting and acting on user feedback.
  9. Ensuring everyone knows what information we offer and how to access it.
  10. Measuring the impact of our information on users’ experiences.
