Termination of Pregnancy Support

Please note that we are not a termination referral service. Please contact your GP if you are looking for information about arranging a termination.

On this page, you will find both practical information and emotional support resources to help you to feel informed and supported throughout your journey. Please know that you are not alone - there is help and support available to you. You can get in touch with our Bereavement Team should you need support at any time following your loss.  #

Ellie Brewer is our assigned Bereavement Nurse for Gynaecology. You can text or call her on 07795450090, or you can call our office on 0121 335 8286.
