The kind of care that you receive from your GP or hospital staff can make a real difference to how you cope with the experience of pregnancy loss. Everyone wants good medical care, based on up-to-date knowledge of miscarriage, ectopic or molar pregnancy. But the human aspects of care are also very important: kindness, understanding, clear information and sensitive language are just some of the ways that doctors, nurses, midwives and sonographers can help you cope with miscarriage.

Most health professionals work hard to provide good and sensitive care – and many of them will have been through miscarriage themselves. We work to support those doing good work and to encourage others to adopt better practice.
