Sandy Starr, deputy director of PET, attended an international meeting held in Oxford to discuss non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT).
The meeting was convened by the Ethox Centre, a multidisciplinary bioethics research centre based at the University of Oxford.
Speakers compared the (sometimes very different) ways that NIPT is offered and regulated in the UK, Germany and France. They presented research exploring how NIPT is understood by patients and by health practitioners, in these and other countries.
