Our PhD student, Olivia, is looking for people offered non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) within the NHS Fetal Anomaly Screening Programme. If you have been and would be willing to talk about it (doesn't matter whether you chose to have it or not), then please do contact her.

Sadly, I dont feel I can continue in this platform anymore. I'll be sad to lose the amazing connections I've made here, so hoping to stay in touch in either Instagram or LinkedIn instagram.com/mariavelohigue… This account would be inactive from now on 👋🏼
