It isn't that simple. I have 2 children on very expensive medication and no other surgery will take them on and apparently you have to move everybody not just one or 2.. I tried several times!
they wouldn't even let us register the baby at the surgery OH is at she had to be registered at my crappy one too!
Why would they have any say in the matter? I am quite sure you could have registered your baby at DH's surgery, assuming his surgery will allow it (based on your home address.) I'm not sure why you'd even need to mention it to your surgery (although in practice most people register the baby where the mother is.)
I can understand why you would need to stay registered at your surgery based on the situation with the two children you mention (although I honestly can't see this being in line with patient care guidelines!), but is there really only one doctor resident?0 -

They refused to allow him to register the baby at his surgery said she had to be registered with me.. I did say what would they do if I was dead? Ridiculous! his surgery is possibly closer than mine is I think.
there are 7 gps at my surgery 2 I won't even see as they are incompetant.. it took 3 weeks to get that appointment, they have no prebookable appointments unless you give the name of your employer!!! and you have to ring at 8am.. by 8:30 all appointments for that day have gone.. I am rushing about getting children ready for school... believe me I have complained numerous times about it but they don't give a hoot about the patients.LB moment 10/06 Debt Free date 6/6/14Hope to be debt free until the day I dieMortgage-free Wannabee (05/08/30)6/6/14 £72,454.65 (5.65% int.)08/12/2023 £33602.00 (4.81% int.)0 -

So out of the 7 GPs at the surgery, no one would refer you for a termination? How many times did you get refused? That's not right. If they have a moral reason why they won't refer they HAVE to provide you with a GP who will it's your right. I've never heard of such a thing. I would be writing a massive complaint, and if I were you would have gone much further if that's the route you really wanted.
Termiantions are normally offered on the NHS, so to the OP, that should be your first port of call.0 -

If this was recently and she refused to refer you to another GP i would be reporting her.0 -
It will be done for free, I got pregnant at 27 and we decided initally to have an abortion, the first doctor i saw said because of his beliefs he couldnt refer me, so i saw another doctor who did and to the local family planning centre who arranged it all for free, but once we got there something triggered with us both we were doing the wrong thing, so although we didnt go ahead with it and are very happy with our decision now you must be feeling terrible after all your hassle with the doctors. Good luck and see the local family planning centre they don't just see 16 year olds.Received £2,626.00 in PPI -2013:j
Received £1400 charges - 2006:j0 -
no she was being difficult.. she had already refused contraception twice so knew I didn't want it and just flatly refused. My youngest was only 5.5 months old at the time too! life goes on.. and I am sually he exception to every rule in the book.. ;0)
she used to be a gynaecologist so I doubt she has issues with termination at any stage!
That's terrible! You should've complained and got to family planning clinic for contraception.0 -

She wrote a long waffle on my notes about why she had refused so none of the other GP's there would have approved it either.I've written complaint and after complaint after complaint and even
to the PCT and they don't give a fig.. nothing ever improves, suggestions are ignored and half the time they claim not to have received complaints.. even when hand delivered!! the surgery has a very negative reputation within the local area, including with pharmacists as they are very very slow at ettin repeat prescriptions out and usually take a day or 2 longer than every other surgery!Mankysteve wrote: »If this was recently and she refused to refer you to another GP i would be reporting her.
Well, I am nearly 19 weeks now so it was fairly recent!fosters123 wrote: »That's terrible! You should've complained and got to family planning clinic for contraception.
I can't, they won't touch me with my long list of allergies, adverse reactions and family history of medical conditions. My sisters have exactly the same trouble.. 1 has a coil which I can't have and the other has a pill which I tried and ended up in hospital with kidney failure on.. I'm not an easy person to deal with! ;)in addition to allergies to latex, spermicides and lubricants things get very restricted indeed!
Never mind.. 2 bricks and a couple of knots will do the job after this one!

Have you even tried? You put more obstacles up than your GP from what you say.
Are you going to keep the baby after it's been born?You sound like you really don't want it
Must be hard If women are birds and freedom is flight are trapped women Dodos?0 -
im not sure i understand this business about not getting registered elsewhere due to the needs of your children (expensive meds), a surgery cannot refuse to register you on that basis, what if you had just moved into the area?
in addition, the father of your little one has PR i assume, then he should have been able to register the child just as you had.
cant you get the local papers involved, this sounds worse than my gp surgery and i thought that was impossible0 -
I thought there had to be a reason doctors agree to abortion; health of the mother (physical or mental) pregnancy as a result of rape, serious disability of the baby. I am sure that was what it was originally in the late 60's, I think two doctors had to agree as well. Has that changed?
Pretty sure thats still the criteria..basically all circumstances can go under threat to mum's mental health0
