Abortion is healthcare: an introduction to abortion care for healthcare students
Doctors for Choice UK Student Conference 2026
Saturday, 28 February 2026 — 9:45am–5:00pm
Clinical Skills Centre, Whittington Hospital, London, N19 5NF
Doctors for Choice UK invites all healthcare students (from medicine, nursing, midwifery, physician associate, and Ph*rm*cy programmes), to join us for a practical, evidence-based introduction to abortion care. We will be exploring abortion care as an essential part of healthcare through expert talks, panel discussions, and interactive workshops covering:
· UK law and abortion provision
· Clinical aspects of abortion care
· Stigma and respectful, patient-centred practice
· Practical workshops including manual vacuum aspiration (MVA), communication skills, and a creative Abortion in the Arts workshop
· Panel Q&A with abortion providers offering first-hand insights into their careers and abortion provision in the UK
By the end of the day, you’ll leave with a good understanding of how abortion is provided in the UK, how you can support patients with competency, compassion and respect and how you can develop your interest in abortion care.
