What NIPT screens for
A safe, highly accurate screen
Non-invasive prenatal testing analyses fragments of your baby’s DNA found naturally in your blood. It is a screening test — highly accurate, but not diagnostic — and carries no risk of miscarriage.
- Down’s syndrome (trisomy 21), Edwards’ (18) and Patau’s (13)
- Sex chromosome conditions, where you choose to include them
- Baby’s sex, if you wish to know
- Options for extended panels (microdeletions) — discussed with you

How it works
From blood test to result
After a short consultation we take a simple blood sample from your arm (from 10 weeks). Results usually come back within about a week. We explain what a ‘low chance’ or ‘higher chance’ result means, and never leave you to interpret a number alone.
If your result needs follow-up
Support, whatever the result
A higher-chance result does not mean your baby is affected — it means a diagnostic test (such as CVS or amniocentesis) would give a definite answer. If that’s the case, we talk it through and refer you promptly to a fetal-medicine specialist. Whatever the outcome, you’ll have unhurried support.
Good to know
Safe, joined-up care
GMC-registered clinicians, CQC-registered clinic
You’re seen by GMC-registered clinicians at our CQC-registered Whitechapel clinic. We keep clear, confidential records and, with your consent, share a summary with your NHS GP so your care stays joined up. A chaperone is available for any examination on request, at no charge.
You don’t need to be registered with us, and private care complements — it doesn’t replace — being registered with an NHS GP.

Common questions
Still have a question? Our team can help you choose the right appointment.
When can I have NIPT?
From 10 weeks of pregnancy onwards. It only needs a maternal blood sample.
Is it safe for the baby?
Yes. NIPT is a blood test from your arm and carries no risk of miscarriage, unlike diagnostic tests such as amniocentesis.
Is NIPT diagnostic?
No — it’s a highly accurate screening test. A higher-chance result should be confirmed with a diagnostic test, which we can arrange.
Can I find out the sex?
Yes, NIPT can report your baby’s sex from 10 weeks if you choose. You can also opt out of that information.
Do you offer counselling with the result?
Always. We explain results clearly and, where needed, refer you to fetal-medicine specialists for further discussion and testing.
Do I need a GP referral?
No. You can book directly. With your consent, we can write to your NHS GP so your care stays joined up.
Does NIPT replace my NHS screening?
No. NIPT is a screening test, not a diagnostic one, and it does not replace your NHS antenatal care or scans.
How quickly can I get a women’s health appointment?
Most women’s health appointments are available within the same week, often within 1–2 days. We are open 7 days a week, 9am–7pm.
