A special note on Confidentiality

It is important for you to know that this is a confidential and discreet service.   Access to your notes is strictly for health professionals directly involved with your care (though we will normally inform your GP).  The only exception to confidentiality would be if we felt your well-being was at risk.

What will happen during my appointment?

During your first consultation, you will have an ultrasound scan; this will take place in the maternity ultrasound department.  We ensure that you will not see or hear anything the the screen during this procedure.  We will ask you some questions about your medical history and previous pregnancies.  We will take you through your options for termination of pregnancy and contraception options afterwards.  We will also offer screening for sexually transmitted infections.

Tell me more about terminations

There are two types of termination – a medical termination and a surgical termination.

1. The medical termination involves tablets. This is a two-stage procedure available up to 9 weeks of pregnancy. This is performed as an outpatient procedure (which means that you do not have to be admitted to hospital; you simply come to the clinic, take the tablets and go home).
2. A surgical termination is basically an operation to end the pregnancy. It is available for pregnancies between 8 weeks and 12 weeks and 6 days. You will be given a date for the procedure the time of your appointment.

The Lilac Clinic also offer a 24-hour, seven days a week follow-up service.
