Antenatal and Newborn screening programmes aim to detect conditions that are present in either the mother or baby that might have an adverse effect on the health of either. Pregnant women and newborn babies are offered screening tests as an integrated and linked part of their care. Optimal screening programmes require effective team working across a number of professional groups, departments, and organisations. Trust programmes are benchmarked against national and locally agreed standards; and audit and performance monitoring is seen as essential to assure the safety and effectiveness of the service.
The post holder is responsible to the Specialist Midwife for Antenatal and Newborn Screening and will also work closely with the Fetal Medicine team based within the Trust.
