132 Harley Street London W1G 7JXThe law in the UK requires that you have the consent of two doctors in order to have a pregnancy termination, but this isn’t as difficult as it might sound. The process will be made as easy as possible for you in order to reduce the stress and pressure of dealing with an unplanned pregnancy.
All that the requirement for medical consent means is that two doctors will need to agree that you are making the right decision for your physical health or mental wellbeing. The doctors will just want to be sure that you are making an informed decision and that you are certain you want to have an abortion. It is very rare for any doctor to refuse consent for an abortion as long as you are under the legal limit. Sometimes a family doctor will feel uncomfortable signing the consent form, but they will be obliged to refer you on to someone who is willing to assist you in seeking a pregnancy termination.
The first doctor you see when you are considering an abortion can be your usual GP or a doctor at the private clinic in London. If you have a referral from your family doctor, you should bring the signed consent form with you to your appointment. If you haven’t seen anyone else before you come to the clinic, a second doctor can be arranged for you by the clinic to provide consent.
When you meet with your doctor to discuss having an abortion, you will take some time to talk about your reasons for considering termination, what the process involves, and what your options are. The doctor can provide the information and support you need to make your decision. If you decide to go ahead with the pregnancy termination, the doctor will provide consent and arrange the procedure.
