Your baby’s screening result – Cystic fibrosis (CF) is suspected

The result of your baby’s ‘heel prick’ screening blood test suggests they might have cystic fibrosis (CF). This result will need to be confirmed by further tests.

By identifying CF early, babies and their families can be offered treatment and support as soon as possible.

This leaflet gives some information about CF and explains what happens next.
