Joint BSACP/RSM Conference on 'Abortion: Excellence in Care’, RSM, London, UK - Monday 15 October 2018

The British Society of Abortion Care Providers (BSACP) and the RSM’s Sexuality & Sexual Health Section are jointly organising a one-day conference on ‘Abortion: Excellence in Care’ to be held at the Royal Society of Medicine (RSM) in London, UK on Monday 15 October 2018.

New developments in abortion care, contraception and commissioning processes impact the way abortion and sexual health services are being delivered.

In recent times, the political climate around abortion care has and is changing in the UK. It is important that healthcare professionals working in abortion, sexual health services and general practice are aware of, and understand how, these developments can impact on patient care and patient outcomes.

This conference will bring together a range of experts and health care professionals from all areas of Great Britain to provide a comprehensive overview of current and future concepts in abortion care.

Also running alongside the conference will be the ‘My Body My Life’ travelling exhibition. ‘My Body My Life’ (http://mybody-mylife.org/) is an inspiring exhibition in which women tell their stories in a show of support for one another, and to demonstrate how vital it is to be able to have access and the option to abortion services. 

Conference themes include:
• Current best practice in abortion care
• New approaches and developments in abortion care and how this impacts on care delivery
• The impact of commissioning on abortion care and service delivery
• The political climate around the legal framework for abortion care in the UK
• Contraceptive strategies in hard to reach groups
