BSACP @ESC 2026 | Hands On D&E Skills Workshop
2026-05-08 14:00 - 15:30 UTC | ESC 2026, SAVA Center Milentija Popovica 9, Belgrade, 11000, Serbia
We’re pleased to share that members of the British Society of Abortion Care Providers will be contributing to this year’s European Society of Contraception and Reproductive Health Congress in Belgrade, Serbia.
On 8 May, our Co-Chair, Patricia Lohr, and Evidence Advisor, John Reynolds-Wright, together with Philippe Faucher, will be leading a dedicated workshop on Dilatation and Evacuation (D&E). This session will offer practical, evidence-based insights to support clinicians in delivering safe, high-quality abortion care. Workshops like this are vital for strengthening clinical skills, sharing best practice, and supporting providers across Europe and beyond.
If you’re attending ESC 2026, we encourage you to join the session and connect with colleagues committed to advancing reproductive healthcare. You can register for the ESC Congress and Workshop here.
If you’re unable to attend or would like a more in-depth training experience, we’re also running a full-day D&E simulation course on 8 June 2026, in London.

Manual Vacuum Aspiration | Joint RCOG Course | February 2026
2026-02-10 09:00 - 16:30 | RCOG, 10-18 Union Street, 10-18 Union Street, London, SE1 1SZ
This one-day, hands-on theoretical training course focuses on outpatient management of miscarriage and abortion using manual vacuum aspiration (MVA).
MVA is an alternative to electric suction or dilatation and curettage for evacuation of the uterine contents. The MVA procedure is performed with a hand-operated vacuum syringe, typically under local anaesthetic, in a treatment room.
With the high safety profile of this procedure and the increasing potential for the delivery of uterine evacuation outside of the theatre, there is a need to improve access to MVA in the UK. In addition to providing a grounding in the MVA procedure, this course covers the equipment, staffing, analgesia and other requirements for surgical uterine evacuation in the outpatient setting.
This course will be beneficial to those who are unfamiliar with MVA, and those in need of an update on the latest evidence.
Spaces for this course are limited; hence, we advise booking early to prevent any disappointment.
Make use of our early bird rates and book by 16 December 2025 to make savings on your registration.

MVA and D&E Course | October 2025
2025-10-04 09:00 - 17:00 | Whittington Hospital – Clinical Skills Centre, Level 1, Clinical Skills Centre, Whittington Hospital, Magdala Ave, London, N19 5NF
This one-day, hands-on theoretical training course focuses on the surgical management of abortion and miscarriage across gestations. The course specifically focuses on Manual Vacuum Aspiration (MVA) and Dilatation and Evacuation (D&E) techniques. Delegates will be able to sign up for a half day or the full day based on their interest and existing skills.
MVA is an alternative to electric suction or dilatation and curettage for evacuation of the uterine contents. The MVA procedure is performed with a hand-operated vacuum syringe, typically under local anaesthetic, in a treatment room. With the high safety profile of this procedure and the increasing potential for the delivery of uterine evacuation outside of the theatre, there is a need to improve access to MVA in the UK. In addition to providing a grounding in the MVA procedure, this course covers the equipment, staffing, analgesia and other requirements for surgical uterine evacuation in the outpatient setting. You can access the programme for the MVA Course here.
D&E is an essential life saving skill in the context of abortion and management of mid-trimester miscarriage and pregnancy complications. This procedure involves the dilation of the cervix followed by removal of uterine contents using instruments, typically performed under local or general anesthesia. Given its established safety profile there exists a critical need to enhance accessibility to D&E in healthcare settings. In addition to training on the D&E procedure itself, this course delves into the necessary equipment, staffing, anesthesia options, and logistical requirements essential for the successful execution of surgical uterine evacuation. You can access the programme for the D&E Course here.
This course will be beneficial to those who are unfamiliar with surgical management of abortion and miscarriage, and those in need of an update on the latest evidence.
