Newborn bloodspot screening is when a small sample of blood is taken from the baby’s heel on day five of life (counting day of birth as day zero). This blood sample is screened for rare but serious diseases that respond to early intervention to reduce mortality and/or morbidity. The screening test is part of routine postnatal care.
The aim of the Newborn Bloodspot Screening programme in Wales is to offer all eligible babies, at day five of life, quality assured screening for rare but serious diseases that would benefit from early intervention and reduce mortality and/or morbidity from the disease.
