NHS England’s latest evaluation of the national non‑invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) programme, part of the fetal anomaly screening programme, found that 81% of pregnant women felt well‑informed throughout the NIPT process. The study, conducted with Thinks Insight & Strategy, surveyed women 20 weeks pregnant or in the last 12 months across England. Women highlighted the clarity and balance of publicly available resources, especially an animated GOV.UK summary, and praised the role of midwives as trusted information providers. However, participants noted that midwives could benefit from easier access to high‑quality materials and step‑by‑step guides. In response, NHS England has released a business card, posters, and a display video for clinics, and encourages healthcare teams to download these tools from CommsLink.
