Abortion Provider Awarded “Women’s Health” Award by British Medical Journal for DIY Abortion Program

UK’s largest abortion provider awarded by BMJ for ‘DIY’ abortion scheme

Britain’s largest private abortion provider, the British Pregnancy Advisory Service (BPAS), has been awarded the ‘Women’s Health’ award for its role in the promotion and administration of their ‘DIY’ home abortion scheme.

At the 13th annual The BMJ Awards (British Medical Journal), the abortion provider received its award for its “development & launch of [its] telemedical abortion care service”.

The BMJ outlined in an award video that “refinement of the service with client and staff input led to sustained uptake, with 66,000 telemedical abortions provided to date”.

Telemedicine abortions, or DIY home abortions, where both sets of abortion pills in a medical abortion can be taken at home without ever having a face-to-face consultation with a medical professional, were introduced at the beginning of the state-imposed lockdowns in response to the COVID-19 virus at the end of March 2020.
