Medical students go to London for abortion training

A London clinic that provides abortion care training for medical students attracted 15 students from Irish universities over the past 18 months.

The Richmond clinic, run by the British Pregnancy Advisory Service (BPAS), offers the one-week internships where students are allowed witness how abortion procedures are carried out.

A spokesperson for the BPAS said they “felt honoured to be able to help these motivated students learn about abortion and hope one day they will be able to care for women needing this care at home”.
