Abortion is legal in Northern Ireland and a confidential, free service is available in all trusts. We offer early medical abortion and surgical abortion under local anaesthetic up to 11 weeks and six days of pregnancy through the Rose Clinic based in College Street, Sexual & Reproductive Health Clinic.
If you are more than 12 weeks pregnant we can offer an initial telephone consultation and assessment and refer to the Tulip Service in South Eastern Trust. Please see further information here.
We accept referrals through the British Pregnancy Advisory Service (BPAS). Please complete the online BPAS self-referral form if you are sure of your decision and have had a positive pregnancy test.

When the Rose Clinic has received a referral, you will be contacted to arrange a telephone consultation within five working days. Our team of midwives and doctors will discuss your options and assess your suitability for treatment.
Please note pregnancy is dated from the first day of your last period or by ultrasound scan. Pregnancy tests stating 1-3 weeks pregnant are misleading and only an estimate from time of conception (3 weeks is the maximum reading obtained regardless of how many weeks pregnant you are).
