Once contacted for an appointment, we will arrange a nurse-led pre-assessment consultation (which could be over the phone if suitable and appropriate) and ultrasound scan. This is to be sure of how far pregnant you are and check your health so we know what treatment options you have. We have clinics in various sites and times across Hull as not everyone finds getting to clinics easy due to work and family commitments. We will book you into one which best suits your needs and minimises delay.
- All women are encouraged to have a sexual health screen as sexual and non-sexually transmitted infections can lead to complications if not diagnosed and treated.

If you have a significant medical problem, your nurse will arrange contact with a senior clinician to tailor your care. This may influence the methods of termination available to you.
We can offer medical termination by the medical route (tablets). You can plan to lose the pregnancy in either a clinic or home setting. Here is a link to information on the procedures MTOP and EDM.
