• What is a Termination of Pregnancy and what are my treatment options?

  A termination of pregnancy (TOP) is also known as an abortion. It is the process that brings an end to a pregnancy. This can be done with either medication or surgery.

  Legally this can be requested before 24 weeks of pregnancy. Two doctors need to agree that a TOP would cause less damage to your physical or mental health than continuing with the pregnancy.

  Your treatment options are based on the age of your pregnancy and your personal preferences. The majority of TOPs are managed with medical treatment.

  At Royal Preston Hospital (RPH) we can offer you treatment up to 11 weeks and 6 days of pregnancy. If your pregnancy is over 12 weeks you will be provided with contact details of an alternative clinic that will be able to provide your care.
