  • Understanding patient migration patterns for abortion care can help identify gaps in service provision and inform NHS planning to improve equitable access across UK nations
  • Clinical teams should be aware that women may be seeking care outside their local area, suggesting need for review of abortion service capacity and commissioning in devolved nations
