Irish and Overseas Visitors
Irish and Overseas Visitors Abortion is legal in the UK up to 24 weeks. The Calthorpe Clinic is licensed to carry out abortions up to 20 weeks.

In England, Wales and Scotland a woman of any age can have an abortion if two doctors agree she has good reasons under the abortion laws of these countries; in other words, that an abortion would cause less damage to a woman’s physical or mental health than continuing with the pregnancy.

The Abortion Act 1967 (amended by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 1990) does not apply to Northern Ireland or the Isle of Man. In Jersey, abortion is legal but only up to 12 weeks. Abortion is legal in Northern Ireland but only in exceptional circumstances. Most women who decide to have an abortion travel to England.

If you live abroad, it is possible to have an assessment and treatment on the same day. You will need to be at the Clinic by 0830 (8.30am). Some procedures (such as the early medical) currently require that you attend the Clinic again (between 6 hours - 3 days, whichever is most convenient) after taking the first tablet so you will have to stay in Birmingham overnight. We strongly recommend that women stay overnight after the second treatment before travelling home.

If you are travelling back on the same day after treatment, we recommend that your return travel times are after 2000 (8pm) and that you have someone with you when you travel.

Relatives and friends can buy refreshments while they are waiting; we accept euros as well as sterling for this.

If you are coming to the Clinic:
  • Do not have any food or drink from midnight the night before your assessment if you are going to have an anaesthetic (this also means no water or chewing gum)

  • If you are having an early medical termination and are under 9 weeks pregnant, you will need to have a full bladder for your assessment in case you have to be scanned.

If English is not your first language and you require a translator, please let us know as soon as possible and we will arrange one for you.
