The time you wait for a procedure may vary, but it should be done within 14 days from when you first get in touch with the abortion provider you choose. This 14 days includes having a consultation before the procedure.
During the consultation, they will decide what happens next. Sometimes, the procedure might take place in an NHS hospital and the abortion provider will arrange that if necessary.
Contraception and Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI) testing
During the abortion process, you might be offered contraception (such as implant, coil, pill or injection), testing for STI and HIV (human immunodeficiency virus).
You can check which contraception and STI home testing kits are available in your area via the discreet Sexual Health London website.
Your views and opinions are important to us
We would like you to share your experience with us by completing a provider feedback form, emailing the provider directly, or the NHS SEL ICB Complaints Team via contactus@selondonics.nhs.uk.
