Antenatal Infection & Immunity Screening’s place in health screening packages testing
This panel mirrors the blood work offered at a first antenatal booking and adds immunity checks not routinely included. It covers blood count and group with antibody screen, haemoglobin electrophoresis, glucose and thyroid function, and then the infections and immunities that matter in pregnancy: rubella, varicella, toxoplasma, cytomegalovirus, hepatitis B and C, syphilis and HIV. Blood is taken by a nurse at 22 Wimpole Street and the laboratory report is released to your secure portal.

Who considers Antenatal Infection & Immunity Screening
- People often consider a health screen at a milestone birthday or when they have not had a general check for several years.
- Those with a family history of heart disease, diabetes or cancer may want a structured baseline.
- A stressful job, weight gain or a change in fitness sometimes prompts a broader look than a single blood test.
- Employers, sports bodies and some visa applications ask for a documented health assessment.
- People who already know their numbers often return annually to track change.
What Antenatal Infection & Immunity Screening measures
Health screening packages combine a broad set of blood and urine tests with time for a nurse to record measurements such as blood pressure, height, weight, waist and body composition, and in some packages an ECG or other assessments. The laboratory element spans full blood count, kidney and liver function, lipids, HbA1c, thyroid, iron, vitamins and inflammation markers, with more comprehensive tiers adding hormones, tumour markers where appropriate to age and sex, and cardiovascular risk markers. Everything is reported by the laboratory against its reference ranges and delivered to your secure portal.
Preparing for your Antenatal Infection & Immunity Screening
- 1Fast for 10 to 12 hours with water only, and book a morning slot so this is manageable.
- 2Avoid alcohol and strenuous exercise for 48 hours beforehand so liver enzymes and muscle markers are representative.
- 3Wear loose clothing that allows blood pressure and measurements to be taken easily; bring a urine sample if requested.
- 4Bring a list of medicines, supplements and any previous results you would like compared.
Sample for this test: venous blood sample plus nurse-recorded measurements.
Understanding your Antenatal Infection & Immunity Screening results
The value of a screening package lies in the overview: a written report brings together measurements and laboratory results, highlights anything outside range, and explains which findings are worth acting on. Because dozens of markers are measured, a few minor deviations are expected in healthy adults and are usually put into context rather than pursued. Where a result does need follow-up — a raised HbA1c, an abnormal ECG, a low ferritin — the report says what to do next and how urgently.
A screen is a snapshot for people without specific symptoms; it is not a substitute for medical advice about a current problem, and a clear report is a snapshot rather than an assurance about future health.
