Thousands of toddlers will be screened for an inherited gene that can cause early heart disease as part of a new national pilot programme.
Over the next two years, 30,000 children across England will be assessed using a heel prick blood test to identify if they have a ‘faulty gene’ which causes familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH).
Parents will be offered a heel prick blood test during their child’s routine immunisation appointment, which usually happens between the age of one and two.
AHSN NENC is one of seven AHSNs taking part in the Child-Parent Screening pilot programme, which will involve a number of GP practices across the region.

Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust (CNTW)’s Informatics Project Team is celebrating being shortlisted for a prestigious patient safety award.
The team has been shortlisted for Patient Safety Innovation of the Year in the HSJ Patient Safety Awards, which help drive improvements in culture and quality across the NHS by celebrating the teams and individuals putting safety first.
The Informatics Project Team has been recognised for its implementation of online consultation solution, OneConsultation.
The project is born from the Trust strategy to provide choice to patients and staff; and offer digital solutions as an option for care and treatment. CNTW began the project as a pilot in May 2019 and when the pandemic hit, it was rolled out from a small-scale project to Trust-wide in a matter of weeks.
