Liane Powell

Liane has worked in screening since 2013, firstly as an Antenatal and Newborn Screening Coordinator for a multi-site NHS Trust, then as Project Lead within the Fetal Anomaly Screening Programme.
She loves the variety and depth of the work within the Antenatal and Newborn Screening Programmes, and the rewards and challenges that working within PHE Screening brings.
She is a registered midwife and nurse and remains focussed on enabling high quality care for women and babies.
She lives near the Lake District and enjoys spending time exploring the Lakeland fells with her family, from their trusty campervan.

Public Health England (PHE) provides support and advice to the NHS-led national screening programmes. These programmes identify apparently healthy people who may be at increased risk of a disease or condition, enabling earlier treatment and informed decisions. PHE also hosts the UK National Screening Committee (UK NSC) secretariat and supports the work of the committee.
