We ask for signed consent for Konakion and Hep B, verbal for Guthrie -
although we will soon be asking for written for this too I believe. These
are given antenatally so that women have time to read and consider and ask
questions first,

Hi everyone
I was just wondering what people had experience with in regards to the New
Born Screening Test, Vit K and Hep B vaccine. Where I work, we obtain
written consent for the Vit K antenatally , oral consent for the Hep B and
NBST at the time. A midwife I worked with the other day was saying that
where she used to work it was the other way around, written for Hep B and
oral for the Vit K and NBST.
I was looking after a woman the other day that was actually booked into
Nepean and they obtain written consent for all 3 procedures...
I'm just wondering what other people have come across....
Katrina
