Pre-marital tests are not just a formality; they reassure both partners about their health and their children’s.

They include a blood count, blood group, viruses (hepatitis B, C and HIV), sugar and a screen for inherited anaemias such as thalassaemia.

Results are handed to each partner separately and confidentially, with a consultation to explain them.
