Every pregnant woman in England should be offered screening in pregnancy, however to access these it is important to attend antenatal services early in pregnancy. There are two progammes for fetal anomalies - Downs syndrome screening and the Fetal Anomaly scan. In addition there is a screening programme for haemogloboinopathies (sickle cell disease and thalassaemia)
