SHQ offers appointments for medical termination of pregnancy (mTOP) up to 9 weeks gestation.
Although a referral for abortion is not necessary, to assist patients to access a mTOP more quickly, GPs are invited to participate in the process by arranging the following investigations for patients PRIOR to their mTOP appointment at SHQ:
- FBC
- bhCG (quant)
- Ultrasound scan (pregnancy location/gestation)
Please ensure that a copy of the results are made available to the patient to bring to their appointment at SHQ.
