Abstract
This paper describes the successful implementation of universal antenatal screening for HIV and hepatitis B in Southampton and South West Hampshire Health Authority. This was achieved through formation of a multi-disciplinary planning group of clinicians and managers from local trusts. The approach taken in implementing screening is described, key elements of this being the appointment of screening co-ordinators and consultation with local midwives to ensure their training needs were addressed. Lessons for future work are discussed.
