Review titled Dignity and Respect
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 13 October 2023
I'm not one to normally write reviews, but I felt it was important. I want to be able to put anyone who finds themselves in this situation at ease. From the moment I walked through the door all of the staff were kind and friendly. At no point in my time at the center did I feel judged. When I went in for my appointment the staff were easily able to put me at ease and calm any anxieties I may of had. They went above and beyond to ensure I received the best/correct treatment for my situation. I really cannot recommend this center enough, if you ever find yourself in the situation where you are in need of there services. I can ensure you that you will be treated with dignity and respect by well trained and understanding staff.

Review titled Rush, rush , rush
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 24 October 2023
My daughter had a termination recently . Although, the staff were nice she was rushed out to go home within 10-15 minutes of having the procedure . Next couple of days she started with pain and bleeding when she rang up for advice she was told to ring 111 . She’s had a scan today and there’s some tissue left inside her . I do believe all procedures are rushed and she should have been observed for maybe an hour . This in my opinion is extremely dangerous and is definitely not good practice .

Review titled Great practice
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Eva - Posted on 12 September 2023
Despite being in this very hard situation, I have been in MSI Brixton and they been absolutely fantastic. I was asked multiple times if this decision is final and although decision had to made due to financial reasons what's best for our family, MSI have offered friendly and very supportive care to me. The lady that explained everything was very kind and I would also like to thank the team at the theatre. Many thanks. You have been great.

Review titled Lovely staff & good practice
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 16 August 2023
I chose to have a termination with MSI. I put my initial request in with BPAS and they passed me over to MSI. I received all of my appointments very quickly. This included my health screening and my phone call with the midwife. I received my tablets the next day, after my call to the midwife. The staff I spoke to were lovely and informed me properly about the treatment. The website was also helpful and I was sent enough information to read through. The leaflet in the box was also very useful. I called the aftercare line to check I was doing the treatment correctly and got through in 10/15 minutes. Would definitely recommend MSI to others after having a positive experience.

Review titled Mixed feelings
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 03 September 2023
Honestly I’m in 2 minds. I’m in my 20’s with a minor heart condition for context. I originally called up very disheveled (as I imagine most people are who have to call up regarding these issues) and the initial lady I spoke to was quite abrupt and didn’t show too much emotion in her voice. I didn’t take this too personally as it’s her job to just get the information she needs to send it off to a nurse, however my voice was visible quite shakey yet she was being just slightly too direct. After the call, the lady had everything she needed to contact my gp with any concerns about my heart and I was told that I would get another call in a week. The following call consisted of another woman telling me that I needed to wait a further week for information that they hadn’t bothered to get in between appointments which was quite annoying as I was already 3 weeks pregnant at this point. After a lot of convincing from another lady a few days later, I was allowed a medical abortion but I almost had to travel over 2 hours away for a scam that I didn’t need, which was quite distressing to consider. I finally got the pills and when taking them I called up the aftercare team as I was quite scared whilst taking the treatment and the woman who answered was so lovely, I actually felt heard which was really nice, however that same evening I called again as I was lying on my bathroom floor shivering but I was on hold for 2 hours before the phone hung up on me. The day after I called again for the same advice I had wanted the night before and was told that I’d receive a call within 2 hours. 6 hours had passed and I finally got a callback and my questions were answered sufficiently. Overall the treatment I received was very up and down. I think a bit more consistency from the nurses would have made my experience slightly more comfortable however I can understand to a point why there was so much confusion over my medical information.

Review titled Amazing Practice
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Jade - Posted on 13 July 2023
I cannot be more thankful to everyone who has helped me. Yes it took a while to get an appointment, and I waited on average 15-20mins on the phone calls but that's down to how busy they are and because they give their time and care into each person they see/talk to. They give you their time and make you feel so valued when talking to you on the phone and in person. I felt so much better after my in-person appointment and felt more comfortable choosing a better abortion method that worked for me. Even on the phone they have been fantastic. This is an amazing service and the staff deserve a significant pay raise! Thank you to the midwife in the Aylesham centre who was wonderful. Thank you to the nurses I spoke to too on the phone. I am still going through the abortion process and I know I will need to call again, but I feel in safe hands thanks to this wonderful organisation. Thank you for all the wonderful work you do!

On the other hand, we are sorry to see that the wait times to get through on the phones have been longer that expected.

Review titled Amazing staff
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 01 August 2023
MSI were amazing! The time frame from first contacting them to completing my treatment of surgical abortion was 2 weeks! On a couple of occasions I had to ring them and there was a long wait of 15-20 mins but once through they were very helpful. All my phone calls, face to face consultations and the surgery were on time and I was made to feel cared for and comfortable. The staff cared about how I was feeling and showed compassion and reassurance. I changed my mind about the medical abortion and they were very accommodating. I would like to thank everyone who helped me and recommend them to anyone.

Review titled Excellent service

Thank you so much for this absolutely confidential and free service! I cannot express how grateful i am for the staff and the treatment. I had medical abortion and didn’t even have to go to the clinic, everything was done over the phone and post, quite promptly, which helps to reduce the stress of already uneasy situation. Thank you for giving us the choice and all your support!

Review titled Well looked after
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 20 July 2023
I went for a surgical abortion at the Leeds clinic. I was 7 week pregnant and I felt very supported by all staff involved from the nurses/ anaesthetists from start to finish I was there less than 2.5 hours and that included having an IUD fitted to prevent further pregnancies. Overall I felt supported in my decision and feel I was well looked after by all staff involved.
