Abortion services
TOPS (Termination of Pregnancy Service)
This section provides you with all of the information you need on abortion services in Bradford and Airedale.
All GP practices and the CaSH (Contraception and Sexual Health) service can refer you for an abortion if requested. Many of the nurses at CaSH clinics have been trained in counselling skills. If you’re unsure about the pregnancy or want to talk to someone about your choices you can talk to any of these nurses on 01274 200024. The opening hours for this telephone service are:
Monday to Friday – 8am until 6pm. Outside of these hours there is a voicemail service where you can leave your details and someone will return your call at the next available opportunity.
