The NSU is in the process of revising the Guidelines for maternity providers offering antenatal screening for Down syndrome and other conditions in New Zealand to include the provision of ultrasound services for first trimester combined screening.

The development of these guidelines is being undertaken in consultation with Ministry of Health Maternity Services, the NSU NT Working Group, RANZCR, RANZCOG, the NZ Medical Radiation Technologists Board (MRTB), ASUM and NZIMRT.

As part of the development work a survey of Radiologists and Sonographers was undertaken in November 2010 and provides a useful insight into the NT scan sector.
