Patient Aftercare

No woman ever wants to need an abortion, but over the course of her reproductive life, one in three will have one. bpas offers high quality post-abortion care to the women we have treated. However, in some cases women will often seek advice from their GP after an abortion.  The following guidance is designed to assist GPs in distinguishing between the normal recovery after an abortion, which requires reassurance rather than medical intervention, and complications that merit further action.
Read bpas’ post-abortion guidance for GPs.  

Any woman with a suspected complication after an abortion at bpas can be referred directly to us for evaluation by calling the clinic where she was treated or the Post Treatment Support Line on 0800 247 1122

We produced the Abortion in Practice guide to support GPs and to be kept and used as a reference tool so you can access it when a patient presents with an unplanned pregnancy, needs referring for an abortion or has had an abortion. To order a copy of this guide please email development@bpas.org
