The aim of this guideline is to ensure that all women considering induced abortion have access to a service of uniformly high quality. It is hoped that this guideline will be implemented across all relevant healthcare sectors and will promote a consistent standard regardless of the sectors in which an individual woman is managed.

The guideline has been developed under the auspices of the RCOG for its Fellows and Members practising in Great Britain. The guideline is also intended for other professional groups who share in caring for women considering abortion: primary care teams, sexual health services, gynaecology nurses, staff participating in non-NHS assessment centres and clinics and all those professionals providing abortion counselling.
