Results for heel prick screening
Getting your baby's heel prick results
If your baby's results are positive, a nurse or doctor will contact you, usually 1 to 2 weeks after the heel prick. If your baby's results are negative, they will not contact you.
What happens to your baby's heel prick blood sample
A midwife or nurse takes a few drops of blood from your baby's heel using a special device. They collect the blood onto a special card and send it for testing.
