Review titled Amazing staff
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Jordan - Posted on 24 April 2024
I had a bit of anxiety but the staff were excellent. The nurses/midwives were amazing throughout the procedure and really put me at ease. They were all great, including the aftercare and I although it’s not a very nice procedure (vasectomy) they made it good. The doctor was also very good at explaining everything and also helped put me at ease. They make this place great! Maidstone

Review titled flawless practice
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Poppy - Posted on 17 April 2024
Every member of this wonderful team were kind, understanding, supportive and knowledgeable. The information I recieved was clear and I was made aware of each process in a calming and respectful way. I cannot thank the team enough for how looked after I felt in such an emotional and intense time. The entire team should be proud of the practice they’re running. I’m truly grateful for everything they’ve done for me. Thank you 🙏🏼

Review titled So compassionate. I’m so grateful for MSI.
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 15 April 2024
After multiple rounds of IVF I finally became pregnant. But at 23 weeks i was told the baby had a critical heart condition with poor prospects for any quality of life. MSI saw me two days later. Everybody was unbelievably kind & sensitive. I’ve felt no pain & have had minimal bleeding. They’ve made a truly traumatic time easier for my partner & I. I will forever be grateful to them. Thank you x

Review titled Great experience
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 04 March 2024
My experience having a medical Abortion: From start to finish I felt completely at ease and comfortable. The nurses were beyond lovely, patient and informative. Never felt judged throughout my experience and everything was done so respectfully. They always asked for my consent before touching me and guided me through every step. I can’t fault the service. When I got the medication, the nurse slowly read me through the instructions and answered all the questions I had. They constantly reassured me throughout the process and reminded me that support and counselling is available if I need.

Review titled Do not recommend
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 15 March 2024
I am writing this from the perspective of a relative who was there for support my sister at the Leeds facility. When arriving we entered the building we approached reception about the parking as there was me and my sisters partner we were told that only one of us could stay with her which was okay but this could have been explained when booking her in as we travelled to get here and could have meant one of us could have stayed at home if we knew this prior. My sister then got called for her scan where I stood up and was then told I could not come into the scan room. Which was then explained why to my sister when walking into the scan room. My sister then left the scan upset as she expressed that the lady carrying out the scan wasn’t very empathetic and said to her the baby is only 6 weeks it’s nothing it doesn’t even have a heart beat. I think next time she should take into consideration that it may not be easy for individuals to come to terms with having an abortion so using terms like this can effect the individual as no empathy was shown at all. My sister expressed her emotions with me and then was called into to speak about medical management or surgical where I was not allowed to be present. My sister came out of the consultation my sister was quite upset as I am a Nurse who work with ladies whi go through this process so I am able to empathise with what my sister was going through. I believe they also need to take into consideration that women coming in for an abortion may be still coming to terms with their decision . My sister expressed that she felt as though she had to make a decision there and then regarding whether she wanted medical or surgical management and it was almost as though the was forced to have an abortion even though she was personally still considering keeping the baby. I personally think they need to give ladies time to think and it may me a hard time for someone and they may not be retaining information. But feel like they have to make a decision right then and feel uncomfortable to change there decision if needed. Overall I believe that the service was poor and could be improved greatly. I understand that the staff do this as there job everyday but they could show some emotion and could take a more person centred approach and understand that every individual is different and will be choosing an abortion for different reasons and just because they choosing an abortion doesn’t mean that at the end of process they are going to be relieved as they chose the have this.

Review titled Long wait times
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 16 February 2024
Have a 5 week wait for treatment after my initial assessment at the clinic, this is far too long as i have already been passed from Bpas to Nupas to Msi, I first made contact to request an abortion on 26th Jan and I won't receive treatment until the 20th march. I also had to be scanned by 2 different members of staff as there was uncertainty about the placental location, I felt dehumanised during this process as the second lady never communicated with me at all or made eye contact with me, people just drifting in and out of an unlocked door in the scanning room.

Review titled Central London centre

I attended a vasectomy appointment at the central London clinic, and couldn’t be happier with my care. Everyone I interacted with was respectful and compassionate.

Review titled Sympathetic and supportive
Rated 5 stars out of 5

I felt well supported and not judged in the process. Everyone I spoke to was clear and supportive. The telephone consultation was quick but detailed. The medical side was clearly explained and I felt supported the entire way.

Review titled Awful practice
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 18 January 2024
The pre assessment with one of the midwife’s was lovely, the day of the surgical abortion was awful I was scheduled in at 10.25am arrived 15 minutes early, only 2 hours later they informed there was a delay, I was then seen at 1.20pm for my check up being informed that I’d be seen to in 30 minutes an hour goes by and I inform the receptionist that I wanted an update on the situation, she said she’d go and find out, continued to move me to another room and leave me there, another hour goes by, and no one has Come to see me or give me an update , everyone I came before has now had their surgery and is leaving. Imagine how this can make an individual feel, the surgery itself was amazing, the after care provided by the nurses was not, they where rude, dismissive, and rushed you around as I was the last person to be seen that day. Would not recommend as I had an awful experience and wouldn’t wish this type of rudeness and dismissive behaviour on anyone else, I would like to recommend Bpas they’re amazing.

Review titled Disappointing for such a difficult procedure
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 15 February 2024
I found out I was pregnant at 3 weeks, it was an incredibly difficult decision to make, it was truly 50/50 on what I was going to do. A couple days after I found out I had made my decision and filled out the online form on Thursday. As everyone is told they say you should get a consultation within 48hrs maybe a little longer. I waited a week for a reply which I got in the middle of the day. I’m a duty manager and I can’t just leave my shift for an unplanned call. While it wasn’t long it was an emotional call for me. Thought should be given to when calls are made and maybe get in contact before making that call to see availability? There was no communication inbetween this time. I was having to consider going with another organisation due to the wait time. At this time I was over a month along. During the call they ask if you have any mental health issues currently or in the past. As I have a long difficult history with my mental health I answered as such and this was the only time counselling services were mentioned to me. The next available appointment they could give me was 11 days later. By the time I actually got to my appointment I was nearly 7 weeks. So a essentially a months wait from first making contact… At the clinic I was at the reception area was extremely confusing no clear signs. Had to knock/ring the bell 3 or 4 times until we got a response. Myself and my partner were extremely on edge and did not help at all. The woman who carried out my scan, questions and gave me the pills while extremely efficient was lacking any empathy at all. Again no mention of help through the counselling just the aftercare line if anything went wrong. My appointment was incredibly short and I left feeling totally unprepared and overwhelmed. 5 days later I was still in bed hugely struggling both physically and mentally. I’m now still struggling mentally. Feeling unable to reach out for any support from MSI. If this was the only organisation in the area that carried out this procedure I would have to recommend. However there are several other clinics run by different organisations near here so I would suggest they try one of those.
