Two of the founders of the British Society of Abortion Care Providers (BSACP) talk to Janie Foote, Editorial Manager of the Journal of Family Planning and Reproductive Health Care (JFPRHC).
Dr Tracey Masters, consultant in Sexual & Reproductive Health, Homerton University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, London, spoke on ‘Training and working in abortion care’ and Dr Patricia Lohr, Medical Director, bpas, London, covered ‘Recent technical advances in abortion care’.
Drs Masters and Lohr were two of the invited speakers at the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) International Women’s Day ‘Abortion Care: Our Responsibility’ event held at the RCOG in London, UK on Friday 3 March 2017.
