MSI UK officially opens landmark Birmingham clinic

MSI Reproductive Choices UK has officially opened its landmark abortion clinic in Birmingham.

The purpose-built clinic is one of the most advanced abortion facilities in the country offering a full range of abortion services alongside clinician training.

The facility has two fully equipped, state-of-the-art treatment rooms, increasing capacity for complex care, alongside dedicated spaces and specialist clinicians to support people with a range of needs, including those ending a pregnancy following a foetal anomaly diagnosis. The aim is to provide personalised, trauma-informed support, while raising the standard of specialist abortion care outside of London.

The clinic will also serve as a national centre for abortion training, supporting NHS and independent-sector clinicians and helping to address shortages in surgical abortion provision across the UK.

MSI Reproductive Choices UK managing director Richard Bentley said: ‘Our new Birmingham centre is about more than just a new clinic. It represents a significant investment in the future of women’s healthcare, expanding access to abortion care for women across the West Midlands, while strengthening the specialist workforce the NHS relies upon.

‘By combining modern facilities with a national centre of excellence for surgical abortion training, we are helping ensure high-quality care remains available to the women who need it, both now and in the future.

‘As MSI UK celebrates its 50th anniversary, this investment demonstrates our commitment to being a trusted NHS partner, working to reduce inequalities, improve access and support a sustainable women’s healthcare system for generations to come.’
