Description

Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) using cell-free DNA (cfDNA) from a maternal blood sample offers a more accurate way to determine risk for Down, Edwards’ and Patau’s syndromes than the conventional approach (the combined test) used by the NHS to date.1

It is predicted that in the UK, the test could reduce the number of women undergoing invasive testing from 7,900 to 1,400, and the number of associated miscarriages from 46 to approximately 3 per year.1

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
