The U.K. Newborn Screening Programme Centre (UKNSPC) launched the first UK-wide standards and policies for newborn blood spot screening, together with a national pre-screening information leaflet for parents in December 2004. These standards are included in a document pack that has been sent recently to all heads of midwifery and local screening coordinators. This article describes the standards and policies, as well as the supporting guidelines, that are relevant to midwifery.
