Complete guideFull MedicMess editorial briefing

BSACP Annual Conference 2026 takes place on Monday 16 November at the RCOG Building in London, with an option to join online. The conference theme is “Excellence in Abortion Care Together”, and the official page describes a multidisciplinary audience from across the abortion-care community, including clinicians, nurses, midwives, researchers and other professionals. The programme is expected to include national updates, complex abortion-care sessions and discussion of improving access to services across a range of settings. The source explicitly states that the conference will showcase emerging research through oral abstract presentations, giving it research and portfolio value for doctors and other clinicians working in reproductive health, contraception, abortion care, public health and service delivery. Standard registration rates are available until Wednesday 30 September 2026, with late registration rates applying from Thursday 1 October. BSACP members receive discounts, including separate discounts for doctor members, resident doctors, nurses, midwives, healthcare assistants, other clinical staff, researchers, managers, admin staff, activists and students. Numeric base fees were not visible in text because the pricing table is rendered as an image, so fee columns were left blank.
