Celebrating 10 Years of the programme

The UK Newborn Screening Programme Centre celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2012

As part of our 10th anniversary celebrations we asked colleagues and parents to share their thoughts on the Programme Centre's achievements since it was established. We received some fantastic contributions, not only from colleagues here in the UK but also from those involved in newborn screening in other countries.

We have also compiled a 'timeline' of newborn screening milestones. Download the timeline to see which programmes and resources have been introduced since 2002. You can also view some information on the five conditions screened for.

Thank you to everyone that has been in touch with contributions; we hope that you enjoy reading about newborn screening and the Programme Centre's achievements over the past 10 years.
