Antenatal and Newborn Screening Department

Important Information: The use of face coverings and gloves when coming to into hospital

People infected with COVID-19 can have very mild or no respiratory symptoms (asymptomatic) and can transmit the virus to others without being aware of it.
 
Following recommendations from the World Health organisation, and in line with UK government guidance, on Monday 15 June 2020 new measures were introduced at KGH to keep visitors, patients and staff safe; the need to wear a face covering at all times inside our hospital. To find out more.  
 
On Monday 19th July 2021, some restrictions changed in England however the hospital still requires visitors and staff to wear face coverings. 

Please remove your gloves - Good hand hygiene is one of the keys to defeating Coronavirus

  • If you are wearing gloves when attending our clinics you will be asked to remove them
  • We will ask that you wash your hands with soap or sanitiser
  • You may sanitise your hands and reapply your gloves before you leave
During your pregnancy you will be offered antenatal screening tests and scans. You will also be offered screening tests for your baby when it is born. Information is available regarding screening tests for you and your baby; this booklet is available in different languages.
 
The Antenatal and Newborn Screening department is staffed by midwives, support workers and specialist doctors who work to ensure that all pregnant women are offered all of the recommended screening tests within the correct time frame. Most screening tests results will not find any problems but occasionally there can be a result that requires further testing, scans, investigation or specialist input. The staff will work together with a wide range of experts who provide as much information as possible to inform and to support you at this time.
