Evaluation of how NHS public information supports decision-making about screening tests in pregnancy

• NHS public information on antenatal screening requires improvement to adequately support informed decision-making, with current materials potentially insufficient for pregnant women to understand test options, benefits and limitations
• Clear gaps exist in how screening information is presented to patients, suggesting a need for standardised, evidence-based patient education resources across NHS services
• Clinicians should be aware that current NHS materials may not fully equip pregnant women to make autonomous decisions about screening, warranting supplementary counselling and discussion during consultations
