Proud to see Dr Rebecca McKay at the RCOG National Trainees Conference sharing her work on abortion care education and training. Her project sparked our new ST1-2 Abortion Care Study Day, 14 Sept 2026, online, for early O&G and CSRH trainees. Book: bsacp.org.uk/event/st1-2-...

We call for the decriminalisation of abortion. Outdated laws are putting women through needless legal trauma, harming healthcare, and deterring providers. Abortion is essential, compassionate care, not a crime. Read our full statement: bsacp.org.uk/bsacp-statem...

Another day, another young woman in court under our medieval abortion laws. Six years of torment and not knowing whether she'd go to prison - all after a natural pregnancy loss. So glad that finally compassion was shown by the court tortoisemedia.com/2024/12/18/b... @phoebeivy.bsky.social

Interesting review and call for screening for caesarean scar pregnancy in first trimester ajog.org/article/S000...
There are several, simple methods to obtain correct diagnostic ultrasound images to satisfy screening for CSP in the first trimester. The criteria that should be met are as follows: (a) partially full bladder facilitates evaluation of the lower uterine segment; (b) a sagittal 2-dimensional image of the whole uterus, showing the uterine fundus and cervix (external and internal cervical ora), should be obtained; (c) on the sagittal image, an imaginary line dividing the uterus in half between the fundus and the external cervical os should be drawn ( Figure 1 ). If the center of the gestational sac is above the line, it is most likely to be an intrauterine pregnancy. If it is below the line, the diagnosis is most likely CSP or, in very rare cases, a cervical pregnancy (in the latter, the lack of a history of CD will be evident). 32 A CSP can also be diagnosed when there is a gestational sac and/or early placenta within the post CD niche, with very thin (≤2 mm) or nonmeasurable myometrial thickness between the urinary bladder and the sac. 32 , 35 Importantly, ultrasound is most useful up to 6 to 7 weeks, as later in the first trimester the sac with the embryo will slowly populate the uterine cavity and may be misdiagnosed as an intrauterine pregnancy. The earlier in the first trimester that ultrasound is performed, the more reliable is the diagnosis.
