Continuing our celebrations of the many brilliant midwives who are already embracing genomics as part of their work, we'd like to introduce you to Marianne. Marianne wants to encourage fellow midwives to learn more about genomics and specifically Non-Invasive Prenatal screening (NIPT). NIPT is a blood test that’s offered to women who have received a higher chance first trimester screening result for Down’s Syndrome, Edwards’ Syndrome or Patau’s Syndrome. NIPT is now also available to all women with a history of pregnancy with Down’s Syndrome, Edwards’ Syndrome or Patau’s Syndrome. The test is a safe and powerful tool that screens for all three conditions. “I am the regional co-ordinator for NIPT (non-invasive pre-natal testing). That means I support midwives all over the South East, to ensure women get access to genomic screening if they need it. NIPT is now widely used across the NHS so it’s important that all midwives, not just specialist midwives, understand the power of this screening test for the women that they support.” #InternationalDayoftheMidwife #ThinkGenomics

Today we are celebrating our amazing midwives! Midwives are already involved in genomics, although they may not realise it! Because midwives spend time with people to understand their medical, family and pregnancy history, they are vital in recognising who may benefit from additional genomic referrals or testing early in pregnancy. Nicola Young & Beth Evans are both specialist midwives who are working to raise awareness and understanding about Monogenic Diabetes and Glucokinase Hyperglycaemia across the South East of England and more recently in the East of England too. “Monogenic Diabetes can often be misdiagnosed, and this can lead to unnecessary interventions during pregnancy. We’re helping professionals to consider if genomic testing is appropriate, and understand how an accurate diagnosis may impact not only the current pregnancy, but future pregnancies and the wider family too.” If you're a midwife, come and learn how genomics is relevant to you...... #InternationalDayoftheMidwife #ThinkGenomics
