Pregnant and unsure what to do?

We offer free pregnancy testing in all of our clinics. For some people having a positive pregnancy test can be a very happy time however we understand that this is not the case for everybody.  If you find out you're pregnant and you're not sure if you want to continue with the pregnancy or if you have already decided you would like to discuss having a termination (abortion) we can help.

All patients in County Durham and Darlington can access termination services for free. You can call the number below to book your own appointment or we can help you to do this, you do not need to be referred by your GP.

For advice, support and a consultation appointment for termination of pregnancy at Bishop Auckland, Chester-le-Street, Darlington or Durham hosptials please telephone 01388 455 333 (Monday-Friday 8am-5pm). We also offer a counselling service - contact us on 01388 455 110 (Monday-Thursday 8am-5pm).

We recommend all patients considering termination have a check up for sexual infections.  We can also discuss what kind of contraception you may like to use in future.

'The treatment I have received from all the staff has been excellent and could you extend my thanks to them all. A very thankful and relieved patient'.
