Perinatal Forum: Contingency
Screening for Down's syndrome
The Perinatal Institute has developed a
3-stage contingency model of screening for
Down’s
syndrome which will enable the West Midlands
to achieve the National Screening Committee’s
standards of performance for 2007, despite
the limited ultrasound resources of the region.
With
NSC funding, this method has been piloted at
Stafford General Hospital to assess the feasibility
and acceptability for women and professionals.
This special Forum will present the promising
findings from the pilot, and raise the issues which
need to be addressed for any region-wide implementation. |
