Abortion Services and Support in Nottinghamshire
We are here for you: we provide NHS-funded abortion services in Nottinghamshire. You can contact us directly to book a consultation appointment at our clinics or online, as we have same day appointments available for NHS-funded abortion care.
Types of Abortion Care
At MSI UK, we offer both medical and surgical abortion care. A medical abortion (also known as the abortion pill) involves taking two types of medication (mifepristone and misoprostol) at two different times, to end a pregnancy. At MSI UK, this is available up to 9 weeks and 6 days of pregnancy.
A surgical abortion involves the pregnancy being removed vaginally by an experienced doctor either by using suction (vacuum aspiration) or specialised instruments (dilation and evacuation). At MSI UK, a surgical abortion is available up to 23 weeks and 6 days of pregnancy.
Service Overview and Gestation Limits
| Service Type | Gestation Limit | Available Locations |
|---|---|---|
| Medical Abortion | Up to 9 weeks and 6 days of pregnancy | Nottingham, Mansfield, and Rotherham |
| Surgical Abortion | Up to 23 weeks and 6 days of pregnancy | South Yorkshire Regional Treatment Centre (Rotherham) |
At-Home Abortion Pills (Telemedicine)
If your gestation is under 9 weeks and 6 days of pregnancy and you meet the safety criteria to allow for a medical abortion without a scan, you may be able to access our at-home medical abortion service (also known as telemedicine). Our at-home abortion pills service means that if you meet the safety criteria, the abortion medication can either be collected by you from one of our clinics or posted to your home address after your phone or face-to-face consultation.
