We offer Protection! Becoming an IPEN Placenta Specialist ensures your business is registered with the correct UK Authorities and follows current UK Government Regulations to protect both you and your future clients.  Other International companies may offer placenta encapsulation training over the Internet - IPEN advises you consider carefully your duty to your future clients to offer the safest possible service ensuring your business is according to UK Law.                                                                                                

Please note: As a Placenta Encapsulation Specialist you will be in direct contact with placental blood and tissue from the public.  We have worked with The Health Protection Unit and the Environmental Health Office to put together a Risk Assessment and Code of Practice for Placenta Specialists in the UK to reduce risks ensuring the encapsulation is as safe as possible for both the Specialist and the Client.  We are a professional service for mothers in the UK - we only train applicants who are doula trained, midwives or have personal experience with the placenta.
