The NHS Plan launched in 2000 advocated a linked antenatal and neonatal screening programme for haemoglobinopathies. Currently screening practices vary widely across the UK and patient sampling is generally performed in a hospital setting. The process is flawed and frequently fails to provide accurate and timely information. In this study we demonstrate that organisational changes can improve the efficiency and quality of screening. The primary care screening process described here has increased partner testing rates and allowed early identification of at risk couples.
