A day in the life of a newborn hearing screener
I try to do the best I can for every baby and mother I see each day, so that any baby who may have a hearing loss is picked up early and can receive the treatment and support they need.

Rebecca has been a newborn hearing screener for 2 years. She is based at City Hospital in Birmingham, working in the maternity and neonatal units.

Important announcement
PHE Screening has paused its social media accounts while staff support the national response to Covid-19.
Any queries in relation to the provision of screening programmes during the COVID-19 response can be made to the NHSEI Incident Control Team.
The PHE Screening team
Public Health England (PHE) is the expert voice on screening, providing advice and guidance to the NHS. The national population screening programmes identify apparently healthy people who may be at increased risk of a disease or condition, enabling earlier treatment and informed decisions.
