Details
Checklists for clinical immunology services – and the teams to use when screening laboratories refer a baby with a higher chance result for severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID), following routine NHS newborn blood spot (NBS) screening.
Immunology services and teams should record the information as described in these checklists so records are consistent as part of the SCID screening evaluation in England.
There are checklists:
- for recording information on babies referred with a higher chance result
- to support the phone conversation with parents following a higher chance result for SCID
- for babies diagnosed with SCID
