Abstract
Answer D. You must explain to the patient if you have conscientious objection to termination of pregnancy
According to the General Medical Council good medical practice, you must explain to patients if you have a conscientious objection to a particular procedure. You must tell them about their right to see another doctor and make sure they have enough information to exercise that right. In providing this information you must not imply or express disapproval of the patient’s lifestyle, choices or beliefs. If it is not practical for a patient to arrange to see another doctor, you must make sure that arrangements are made for another suitably qualified colleague to take over your role. In 1967, the Abortion Act was established to legally permit abortion in certain circumstances.
