These training resources have been produced by the Programme Centre’s Parent Support Research Team at the Institute of Education, University of London. They are intended to support trainers in delivering training about newborn blood spot screening. They cover information about the conditions screened for as part of national programmes in the UK. They outline the quality assurance standards developed by the UK Newborn Screening Programme Centre, with a specific focus on communication with parents and on the process of taking the blood spot sample.
