His knowledge and friendliness goes a long way.

Fred has a way with people where they come in with no knowledge and leave with a lot of knowledge and comfort that everything is okay.

Fred was so lovely. He asked us a few questions at the start and then began the scan. He continously made us laugh which is something you don't get when you visit the NHS. He was really assuring and want to thank him for making it such a memorable experience. 

Very friendly, attentive, high-qualified doctor. It feels a big experience of his work. 

Dr. Fred was very quick to reassure me when I was very anxious. His professionalism is 5 stars and he constantly talks you through everything that he can see on the scan which is so reassuring. Thank you for helping me through this nerve wracking process.

NIPT stands for Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing. It is a type of prenatal screening test that analyses the cell-free DNA (cfDNA) fragments from the placenta that circulate in a pregnant woman's blood. This test can be done from 10 weeks and provides information about the genetic health of a developing fetus without posing any risk to the pregnancy. It predominantly screens for 3 chromosomal anomalies:

Down’s Syndrome (Trisomy 21 or T21 – over 99% detection rate)
Edward’s Syndrome (Trisomy 18 or T18 – 97.4% detection rate)
Patau’s Syndrome (Trisomy 13 or T13 – 93.8% detection rate)
The figures above are the published detection rates for the Harmony NIPT.
