Free pregnancy testing

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.

Termination services

All patients in County Durham and Darlington can access termination services for free. You can contact us to book your own appointment or we can help you to do this - you do not need to be referred by your GP. More information on the Termination of Pregnancy Service.

Advice and support

For advice, support and a consultation appointment for termination of pregnancy at Bishop Auckland, Chester-le-Street, Darlington or Durham hospitals please call: 01388 455 333 (Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm). We also offer a counselling service - call: 01388 455 110 (Monday to Thursday 8am to 5pm).

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