Collaboration with the voluntary sector in setting up an early medical abortion service in the PCT. Abstract Text:

S Gupta,S Kapwepwe,

The 1967 Abortion Act and the 1990 Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act amendment allow abortions in acute hospitals or licensed premises only. Provision of abortions in community unlicensed premises is unlicensed and not legal. At abortion assessment, counselling, chlamydia testing and/or treatment/partner notification and a contraceptive package is included. This works towards the overall aim of reducing unwanted pregnancies and reducing the burden of sexually transmitted infections in the community, thus removing the silo approach to abortion. A 92% completed abortion outcome was achieved. Route of administration of misoprostol will be reconsidered. Efficacy could be improved by vaginal administration. The findings support the introduction of an early medical abortion service in collaboration with a partner organisation. Our experience provides useful preliminary data for others contemplating a similar service, with room for improvement.
