SUMMARY:SOLD OUT - Dilatation and Evacuation (D&E) Course | June 2026
DESCRIPTION:Please note that the course is now sold out. If you would like to be added to the list of interested delegates\, please email us at admin@bsacp.org.uk.\nDilatation and Evacuation (D&E) is an essential procedure used in abortion care\, in the management of miscarriage\, and complex pregnancy complications. Despite its strong safety profile and important role in comprehensive reproductive healthcare\, opportunities for structured\, hands-on training in D&E remain limited in many healthcare settings. \nThis full-day course is designed to support clinicians in developing the knowledge\, practical skills and confidence required to provide safe\, high-quality surgical uterine evacuation care. \nThe course combines expert teaching with immersive\, hands-on simulation\, allowing participants to explore the clinical\, technical and professional aspects of D&E provision in a supportive learning environment. Participants will learn from experienced clinicians working in abortion care and will have opportunities to practise key procedural steps using simulation models and to discuss clinical decision-making with faculty. \nThe programme covers the clinical context of abortion past the first trimester\, the technical aspects of D&E procedures\, and the recognition and management of complications. The course also explores the wider professional and service context of abortion care\, including communication\, ethical considerations\, and the practical realities of implementing services within healthcare systems. \nThis course is suitable for clinicians who are new to surgical management of abortion and miscarriage\, as well as those seeking to refresh or update their knowledge and skills in D&E care. \nBeing a Member Pays!\nBSACP Members are entitled to discounts on all of our activities as part of our membership benefits.

Participation in this course may contribute evidence towards relevant Capabilities in Practice (CiPs)\, procedural skills and reflective learning within Resident Doctors’ training portfolios. A detailed curriculum mapping document is available here: \n\nDownload D&E Course Alignment with the RCOG O&G 2024 Core Curriculum\nDownload D&E Course Alignment with the CoSRH CSRH Curriculum\n\nThe course is also relevant and useful for those enrolled and working towards completing the Abortion Care Specialist Modules (ACSM) that we deliver in partnership with the College of Sexual and Reproductive Healthcare (CoSRH) \nStudy Leave and Educational Funding\nResident Doctors applying for study leave or educational funding may request a letter of support from BSACP outlining the relevance of the course to postgraduate training curricula. \nPlease contact us: admin@bsacp.org.uk \nWhat Previous Participants Said\nFeedback from previous BSACP D&E courses has highlighted the value of expert faculty\, practical simulation training and open discussion of complex clinical issues. \nPrevious participants particularly valued and mentioned: \n\n“Very detailed and informative. I’ve learned a lot.”\n“I really valued the passion you all share.”\n“I loved the interaction with the faculty and simulation.”\n“I feel more confident about the procedure.”\n“Very experienced speakers\, passionate about their job.”\n“The discussion around complications.”\n\nMany attendees suggested that more time for hands-on simulation would be beneficial\, which has informed the design of this full-day course format. \nWho Should Attend\nThis course may be particularly valuable for: \n\nResident Doctors in Obstetrics & Gynaecology\nResident Doctors in Community Sexual & Reproductive Health\nConsultants or SAS doctors seeking skills refresh or service development knowledge\nClinicians involved in abortion care\, miscarriage management or early pregnancy services\n\nEnquiries\nFor questions about the course please contact us: admin@bsacp.org.uk \n Terms and Conditions of Sale Terms and Conditions of Sale for Events1.
