Standards
Summary
We are developing standards for pregnancy screening: chromosomal and health conditions.
These standards relate to the national screening programme to assess the chance of a baby having:
- Down’s syndrome, Edwards’ syndrome or Patau’s syndrome
- One of eleven conditions screened at the mid pregnancy scan including spina bifida and cardiac conditions
These standards are a review of the 2019 Pregnancy screening: Fetal anomaly standards.
The consultation on the draft standards has now closed.
Consultation feedback
A summary of the responses to the consultation will be made available on request. You can request them from the project team at his.screeningstandards@nhs.scot
The remaining pregnancy and newborn screening standards will be reviewed at a later date and remain current. These are
- Haemoglobinopathies in pregnancy
- Infectious diseases in pregnancy
- Newborn blood spot screening
- Newborn hearing screening
