A Quality Assurance visit Sue Chatterley, Deputy Head of Midwifery, July 2016
A – Ante N – Natal N – New B – Born Screening Programmes
What is it?
An opportunity –
To review existing structures: No more plasters
To improve multidisciplinary working and forge new relationships
To listen to women and shape the service according to their needs
To raise the profile of screening, secure additional funding and move it from fringe to mainstream
Why is it important?
Finding the needle in the haystack
All women and babies are offered screening: fortunately the uptake is high
Luckily the results are normal in most cases but finding the few mothers and babies affected can make all the difference
At LGT more than 9000 women and babies were screened last year but the team were always just looking for the one mother and baby
No space for complacency – the search for the next needle is already underway
