Listen "TFMR: Surgical Termination"
Episode Synopsis
In this special episode for Baby Loss Awareness Week, we're focussing once again on surgical termination.We're speaking with Jane Fisher from Antenatal Results & Choices (ARC) and Dr Patricia Lohr, Medical Director for the British Pregnancy Advisory Service (BPAS) Also joining us are Sabrina Fletcher @thetfmrdoula, Emma Belle from @tfmrmamas and Paige Wissam @paigewissam. All three women have experienced a surgical termination.Jane and Patricia tell us about how BPAS took on the task of creating a TFMR pathway for those wanting/needing to access a ST and how there are more specialist hubs coming online within hospitals. These units will care for those women with medical conditions, meaning they can't be served by the independent sector. However, the hope/plan is that this will also serve those needing a TFMR as well. This means there will eventually be more doctors who can preform ST within the NHS, ensuring continuity of care for women.They also bust the myths surrounding the debates around which is better for psychological well-being: surgical or medical termination. We'll leave it to you to listen to what they had to say about this...all we'll say is, it got passionate!As always, let us know your thoughts on what you hear.Email us at [email protected] us on Instagram and Facebook @TimeToTalkTFMR and Twitter @TalkTFMRAnd if you're feeling extra inspired, why not rate and review us on Apple Podcasts?
