Confidentiality assured
Consultation
Our service is completely confidential to all of our clients including those under 16 years.
The advisor will explain the various procedures available to you and we will take any necesary details.
We
will support you throughout your treatment and you will be provided with any further information as necessary.
Discussion and Referral
Following consultation with our doctor, a patient advisor will establish whether you wish to proceed with treatment. If appropriate, they will discuss your choice of treatment and confirm your admission date at one of our specialist clinics/treatment centres (this is usually within a few days as there is no waiting list). You will be given an information booklet and we will explain to you what to take to the clinic. Future contraception will also be discussed at this stage.
Medical
Assessment
It
is essential for your own safety that a doctor takes a full
medical history : you will be asked about your general health
and previous obstetric history. It is important that you tell
the doctor if you are currently taking any kind of medication.
We will also assess your suitability for the anaesthetic and
subsequent treatment.
The
doctor will discuss the decision you have reached and record
your reasons for wanting to end your pregnancy. If satisfied
that your reasons comply with the Abortion Act the first part
of the legal document will be signed. The doctor will carry
out a pelvic examination to determine the gestation (weeks)
of your pregnancy. If you are attending this session at one
of our treatment centres you may have a scan at this stage rather
than a urine test to confirm pregnancy. Your blood pressure
will be taken and also a blood test for routine screening. The
risks and complications of any treatment to be provided will
be explained
At
the Clinic/Treatment Centre
If
you decide to proceed to treatment you will be seen by a doctor who assess your medical suitability for your chosen procedure and complete the necessary paperwork.
Free Chlamydia Screening
We encourage all of our clients to undergo screening for Chlamydia.
If your test proves positive both you and your partner will require treatment as soon as possible in order to prevent any complications.
