Joint BSACP/RSM Hybrid Conference on ‘Abortion Care: Focusing on the Future’ on Friday 7 October 2022 at the RSM in London
22 August 2022
BSACP/RSM Online Conference Registration
Registration for this year’s conference jointly organised by the British Society of Abortion Care Providers (BSACP) and the RSM’s Sexuality & Sexual Health Section is open, with ‘early-bird’ registration fees available until Thursday 25 August.
This year’s conference provides the opportunity for healthcare professionals working in the field of abortion care to once again meet together face-to-face as a supportive community. The conference will facilitate networking and improve participants’ knowledge of new styles of abortion provision. It will look to the future in providing patient-centred care in an inclusive way. A ‘novel’ feature of this year’s conference will be a facilitated ‘book club’ discussion about a book on an abortion-related theme to be held during the lunch break.
The conference will offer an exciting programme whose aims are two-fold: (1) to provide information about maximising the role of nurses and midwives in abortion care, together with a contraceptive update and (2) to update abortion providers on providing inclusive abortion care in the context of an evolving abortion landscape.
The programme has been conceived to appeal to a broad range of healthcare professionals, including doctors, nurses, midwives, and those whose focus is abortion care provision.
We hope that most participants will decide to attend this event in person, and thus benefit from the opportunities for face-to-face networking with colleagues throughout the day. These activities include viewing the posters describing new research, browsing the commercial display stands, watching a topical documentary film or participating in a lively book club discussion, and socialising during the refreshment breaks and while partaking of a delicious hot buffet luncheon.

Abstracts Invited for Free Communications and Poster Presentations
This year we are once again inviting poster submissions, from which four will be chosen to give 10-minute oral presentations at the conference, with a prize awarded for the best presentation. This is a great way to share ideas and/or showcase the work and achievements of your unit/team. We aren’t expecting every submission to be a rigorous academic piece of research – so do please consider submitting! It just needs to be original, contemporary (within the last 3 years) and related to abortion care and provision.

The abstract submission deadline is 11.59pm on Thursday 1 September 2022.
