NHS-funded abortion care with MSI Reproductive Choices UK
98% of our abortion treatments in the UK are funded by the NHS. This means that there will be no cost to you for your abortion. Abortions can only be carried out under the care of a licensed clinic like MSI Reproductive Choices UK or an NHS hospital. You can self-refer by contacting us directly on 0345 300 8090 or booking online.
What does NHS-funded abortion care include?
- Treatment: Depending on your gestation, past medical history, gynaecological history, and personal choice, you will be eligible for either a medical abortion or a surgical abortion.
- Aftercare support: We have a 24-hour dedicated aftercare line, where you can talk to one of our nurses about your recovery: 0345 122 1441.
- Counselling: At MSI Reproductive Choices we provide free, confidential counselling services as part of abortion care.
- Contraception: Contraception counselling is a part of your NHS-funded abortion care should you wish to start a method of contraception following an abortion.
Access for Young People
Young people under the age of 18 can access an abortion through the NHS at no cost. We will not share information about your care with your parents, your GP or external agencies unless we are concerned about your safety. There is no limit to the number of abortions you can have via the NHS and abortion providers will never judge you for your decision.
