We recommend that parents are told about newborn blood spot screening during the third trimester and provided with a copy of the national pre-screening leaflet. Their midwife should confirm which conditions are screened for in their area. After birth, at least 24 hours before taking the heel prick, their midwife should check parents have a copy of the national pre-screening leaflet and discuss newborn blood spot screening with them. The leaflet is available to download and print from this website under ‘Resources’ and you may photocopy it as needed.
