Newborn and Infant Physical Examination (NIPE)
A detailed, one-to-one screening examination for your baby in the comfort of your home—carried out within the first 72 hours of birth. This comprehensive appointment gives you reassurance while following national screening standards.
What’s included:
Single appointment (1.5–3 hours) in your home.
Full physical examination of your baby, including eyes, heart, hips, and testes (in boys).
Complete NIPE screening in line with the NIPE Screening Handbook and standards.
Full postnatal check for both you and your baby during the visit.
Please note: This is a screening test, not a diagnostic test. You must be receiving maternity care elsewhere alongside this appointment. In some cases, I may advise you that a paediatrician should complete the NIPE if your family or medical history makes this the most appropriate option.
Thorough, personalised newborn and maternal checks—offering reassurance and peace of mind in those first critical days.
