Abstract

The NHS Newborn and Infant Physical Examination (NIPE) Screening Programme offers parents of babies in England a physical examination for their baby within 72 hours of birth and an infant physical examination at 6 to 8 weeks old. The digital NIPE app screens for conditions relating to the hips, heart, eyes and (in boys) testes and can be performed by a suitably trained midwife, doctor, or neonatal nurse. Practitioners using the app can screen for congenital abnormalities which if detected and treated early, can reduce adverse outcomes in the longer term.
