Newborn Blood Spot Test (heel prick test)

The NBST, often called the heel prick test, is an essential screening for newborns, checking for 9 rare but serious conditions. It is usually completed on day 5 after birth—early detection makes these conditions much more treatable and ensures prompt support if needed. Having the test done in the comfort of your own home means your baby is relaxed, and you have time to ask questions and feel fully reassured.


What’s included:

  • Performed in your home, making it a calm, familiar environment for your baby.

  • Unhurried, gentle approach—time taken to ensure your baby is comfortable throughout.

  • Screening for 9 key conditions as per national guidelines.

  • Clear guidance for parents on why the test is important and what to expect.

  • Dedicated time to answer your questions, providing clarity and peace of mind.


A gentle, thorough, at-home screening on day 5—early detection gives your baby the best start.
