Highlights

contracts with 70 Primary Care Trusts
introduced telephone consultations. This service has been well received by clients as it increases their choice and reduces the amount of time spent at the clinic. Over 800 women each month are taking up this option
opened 2 new clinics in the North of England in Leeds and Manchester –expanding access to services and increasing capacity; it has also allowed the UK team to offer more support to local Primary Care Trusts
streamlined services – there is now virtually no waiting time to access services
introduced medical abortion and for surgical abortion increased the range of anaesthetic options available (including conscious sedation which increases the safety of the procedure)

Future plans

to continue to lead the way with innovative practises and client-centred services, increasing choice and access for women
