Patients’ needs trump beliefs in abortion care

Michael Nevill Director, Nursing at the British Pregnancy Advisory Service

Nurses’ right to abstain from any role in a termination is at odds with the duty to provide non-judgemental care

As director of nursing at BPAS, I believe it is of the utmost importance that the staff we employ are comfortable with all of the services we provide. This includes termination of pregnancy up to 24 weeks.
