💬 Summary:

Abortion is funded by the NHS in England. It is available up to 23 weeks and 6 days of pregnancy, through NHS providers like MSI Reproductive Choices UK.

If you’ve had a positive pregnancy test and decide that abortion is the right option for you, you can self-refer to an NHS provider like MSI UK. You do not need a GP referral to access NHS-funded abortion care.

If your gestation is under 9 weeks and 6 days, you can access medical abortion treatment (also known as ‘abortion pills’). At MSI UK, we offer both face-to-face medical abortion care and at-home medical abortion care (also known as ‘telemedicine’).

We also offer surgical abortion treatment from 6 weeks gestation and up to 23 weeks and 6 days gestation.

We have an aftercare line available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, where you can talk to one of our nurses or midwives about your recovery.

We also provide NHS-funded, confidential counselling services, available at any time before, during and after your treatment - even if your abortion was some years ago.

Please remember that we are here for you, and you can get in touch with us at any time.
