Scope of registration
Termination of pregnancies
Description
This activity includes the termination of pregnancy by surgical or medical methods, including feticide. It does not include advice on termination of pregnancy. The 'morning after pill' is not a form of termination of pregnancy when used as emergency contraception and has its effect before the earliest stages of implantation.
If you are not an NHS body, refer to Regulation 20 of the Care Quality Commission (Registration) Regulations 2009. These regulations place certain obligations on registered providers.
You may need to register for other regulated activities such as Treatment of disease, disorder or injury if, for example, you provide treatment for sexually transmitted infections alongside termination of pregnancy services.
