Viewing ultrasound images in the abortion clinic: clients' and health care professionals' opinions.

We found inconsistent practice within our unit. Despite HCPs building rapport with clients prior to the ultrasound, not all clients who wished to have the opportunity to view their scan were identified. It is evident that many clients wish to have the option to choose for themselves whether they want to view their ultrasound scan, rather than be judged by an HCP as someone who might benefit from it.
