Review titled Unprofessional and uneducated practice
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 04 March 2025
The nurses were simply uneducated. I am 17 years old and by law have the right to give myself consent for an abortion , the nurse told me if i had no one to give consent for my abortion i’d have to go through with the pregnancy. From the age of 16 and above you have the right to consent to your abortion on your own by law. I told the midwife this and asked if she had read the law or nhs website stating that. She told me she hadn’t read anything saying that clearly meaning she is uneducated on that topic , to go into this sort of carreer i assume you have to be educated for it? I got my sister to give my consent as i didn’t want to tell my parents but another young girl may not know the law and may have no one at all to give consent for them and would be stuck going through an unwanted pregnancy with no one to help her. Midwives should be educated on all matters of their job and to tell me you haven’t read that shows me you are not educated on it. The same midwife asked me if i wanted to see my ultra sound , I said no she proceeded to hold it up in front of me two times both times i told her to put it away and she did not.
