Event write up: Abortion Reform in Northern Ireland: What Does It Mean for Healthcare Providers?

Event write up published following virtual event for healthcare professionals.

Doctors for Choice, Ulster University, the Royal College of Midwives and FSRH collaborated on a virtual event for healthcare professionals in November. This event was attended by over 100 health professionals from the North and South of Ireland. It sought to provide information on the changes to abortion legislation in Northern Ireland and the interim local abortion pathway that has been implemented since April 2020. This event write-up report was produced to capture the content of the event.
