Review titled Supportive and caring
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 15 January 2024
I found out I was pregnant at 5 weeks, after making the difficult decision to go ahead with a termination of pregnancy, I found that MSI were my best option. I had to wait 7 days after booking a consultation online (which isn’t ideal when you are going through such a difficult time) but on the day of the consult ion the lady I spoke to was very understanding and non judgemental, I was then referred to a nurse that same day for a medical at home abortion, the nurse was lovely and completely compassionate when I broke down on the phone to her, she also referred me to an talkline and offered a counselling session, which I found very grateful, I didn’t feel judged one bit. I had the termination kit sent out by Royal Mail and had received the next day. Throughout the whole process I have felt I had the required amount of support. Other than having to wait 7 days for the initial consultation I couldn’t fault anything else about MSI. Everyone’s experiences are different but I would recommend them to anyone going through this difficult time.

Review titled Waiting time not acceptable
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 04 January 2024
I discovered my pregnancy when i was around 5 weeks. I immediately contacted MSI and was given a telephone consultation where I had to wait another 7 days. Following the phone consultation which occurred in late December, the first available appointment for clinic was beginning of January; 2 extra weeks from the phone consultation. In total I had a 3 week delay to be seen in clinic, what was already a daunting time was made worse with the realisation that I had continue with the pregnancy for an extra 3 weeks (almost a month!). This needs to be taken in consideration as it has utterly ruined my experience and increased my guilt

Review titled Extremely awful and upsetting
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 27 November 2023
Unfortunately, for what is already a hugely stressful and hard time for me, MSI has made this whole process 10x harder. I am so upset at how I’ve been dealt with. Everytime I have contacted MSI, I have come away from the phone crying and exhausted. My appointments have been moved around by MSI, the ladies on the phone are not empathetic at all, it is the most frustrating process to even book a telephone appointment. It has been 3 weeks since I called MSI and I still haven’t been to an actual clinic or know what is happening. Dealing with MSI has made my already scary situation a whole lot worse.

Review titled Caring and supportive, proactive care
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 10 November 2023
I made the difficult choice to go ahead with a medical abortion at 5 weeks. After contacting them, I had a telephone appointment arranged in one day and follow up with the nurse the day after. Really quick and responsive. Everyone I've spoken to has been kind and compassionate and professional. I appreciate the non judgemental care and the detailed advice I received during a very difficult time for me. The ability to be at home for my termination made me feel safe. I'd recommend the service to anyone in a similar situation.

Review titled Terrible
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 06 October 2023
I think it is a reasonable expectation to be informed at the start of the process that it may take 2 weeks to sort out the medical abortion. It takes up to 48 hours for the team to make contact from online request, next available phonecall appointment four days after response to online request. Follow up clinic appointment in a week. This is scandalous.

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.
