Performed using a simple maternal blood sample, it provides highly accurate prenatal screening without increasing the risk of miscarriage associated with invasive diagnostic procedures such as chorionic villus sampling (CVS) or amniocentesis.

What Is the Panorama Prenatal Test?
The Panorama Prenatal Test is an advanced non-invasive prenatal screening test (NIPT) performed using a simple blood sample taken from the mother. It analyses placental DNA circulating naturally in the maternal bloodstream to estimate the risk of certain chromosomal conditions affecting the baby. Unlike invasive procedures such as chorionic villus sampling (CVS) or amniocentesis, the Panorama Prenatal Test does not carry a procedure-related risk of miscarriage, making it a safe and highly accurate option for prenatal screening.
It is important to understand that the Panorama Prenatal Test is a screening test rather than a diagnostic test. While it provides a highly accurate assessment of the likelihood of specific chromosomal conditions, it cannot confirm or exclude a diagnosis with complete certainty. If a higher-risk result is identified, your consultant will explain the findings in detail, answer any questions you may have, and discuss whether further diagnostic testing is appropriate based on your individual pregnancy.
Who May Benefit from Panorama Prenatal Testing?
Panorama Prenatal Testing is suitable for many pregnant women who would like additional information about their baby’s risk of certain chromosomal conditions. While some women choose the test for early reassurance, others may benefit because of factors such as their age, medical history, family history, or the results of previous pregnancy screening. The test provides highly accurate prenatal screening and can help support informed decision-making during pregnancy.
You may benefit from Panorama Prenatal Testing if you are over the age of 35, have received a higher-risk result from first trimester screening, have a family history of certain genetic conditions, have experienced a previous pregnancy affected by a chromosomal condition, are expecting twins where appropriate, or would simply like greater reassurance about your baby’s health. Your consultant will discuss whether Panorama Prenatal Testing is appropriate for your individual pregnancy and explain the benefits and limitations of the test before you decide whether to proceed.
What Conditions Does the Panorama Test Screen For?
The Panorama Prenatal Test screens for several of the most common chromosomal conditions that can affect a pregnancy. Depending on the specific test selected, it can assess the likelihood of conditions including Down syndrome (Trisomy 21), Edwards syndrome (Trisomy 18), Patau syndrome (Trisomy 13), and selected abnormalities involving the sex chromosomes. Some Panorama tests may also include screening for certain microdeletion syndromes, providing a broader assessment of your baby’s chromosomal health.
Before proceeding, your consultant will explain exactly which conditions are included in your chosen Panorama Prenatal Test and discuss the benefits and limitations of screening. We will ensure you understand what the results can and cannot tell you, helping you choose the most appropriate screening option for your individual pregnancy and personal preferences.
When Can the Panorama Test Be Performed?
The Panorama Prenatal Test can usually be performed from 10 weeks of pregnancy onwards, allowing early assessment of your baby’s risk of certain chromosomal conditions. The test involves a simple blood sample taken from the mother, which is sent to a specialist laboratory for detailed analysis. Because it is non-invasive, the procedure is quick, safe, and does not pose a procedure-related risk to your pregnancy.
Results are usually available within approximately one to two weeks. Once your results have been received, your consultant will explain them in clear, straightforward language, answer any questions you may have, and discuss whether any further assessment, diagnostic testing, or follow-up is recommended based on your individual results.
What Does Your Appointment Involve?
Your appointment will begin with a detailed discussion about your pregnancy, medical history, family history, previous screening results, and any questions or concerns you may have. Your consultant will explain how the Panorama Prenatal Test works, discuss the conditions it screens for, outline its accuracy and limitations, and ensure you understand what the results can and cannot tell you. We will take the time to answer your questions and help you decide whether Panorama Prenatal Testing is the most appropriate option for your individual pregnancy.
If you choose to proceed, a simple blood sample will be collected and sent to a specialist laboratory for analysis. Once your results are available, your consultant will explain the findings in clear, straightforward language, discuss their significance, and advise whether any further investigations, diagnostic testing, or follow-up care is recommended based on your individual results.
Understanding Your Panorama Test Results
Most Panorama Prenatal Test results indicate a low risk for the chromosomal conditions being screened, providing valuable reassurance for many expectant parents. However, while a low-risk result makes these conditions much less likely, it cannot completely exclude every possible genetic or chromosomal condition or guarantee that your baby has no underlying health problems.
If a higher-risk result is identified, this does not necessarily mean that your baby has the condition. It indicates that further assessment may be appropriate to obtain a definitive diagnosis. Your consultant will explain your results in clear, straightforward language, discuss what they mean for your pregnancy, answer any questions you may have, and, where appropriate, arrange further diagnostic testing or referral to ensure you receive the information and support you need.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a referral to have the Panorama Prenatal Test?
No. Many women choose to self-refer for private Panorama Prenatal Testing. Referrals from GPs, midwives, obstetricians, and other healthcare professionals are also welcome.
How is the Panorama Prenatal Test performed?
The test requires a simple blood sample taken from the mother. The sample is sent to a specialist laboratory for analysis, and no procedure is performed inside the womb, making the test safe for both mother and baby.
How long does it take to receive the results?
Results are usually available within approximately one to two weeks. Once they are available, your consultant will explain the findings, answer your questions, and discuss whether any further assessment is recommended.
Can I have the Panorama Prenatal Test if I am expecting twins?
Yes. Panorama Prenatal Testing may be suitable for certain twin pregnancies. Your consultant will assess your individual pregnancy and advise whether the test is appropriate for you.
Can the Panorama Prenatal Test determine my baby's sex?
Where requested and clinically appropriate, the Panorama Prenatal Test can determine your baby's sex. Your consultant will discuss this with you before testing and explain whether this information will be included in your results.
Will I need additional tests after Panorama Prenatal Testing?
Most women do not require any further investigations following a low-risk result. If a higher-risk result is identified, your consultant will explain the findings and discuss whether diagnostic tests, such as chorionic villus sampling (CVS) or amniocentesis, are recommended.
What happens if my result is higher risk?
A higher-risk result does not mean your baby definitely has the condition being screened for. It indicates that further assessment may be appropriate. Your consultant will explain your results in detail, discuss the available options, and support you in deciding on any next steps.
Can I still have routine pregnancy screening if I choose Panorama Prenatal Testing?
Your consultant will advise how Panorama Prenatal Testing fits alongside your routine antenatal care and any other screening tests recommended during pregnancy, ensuring you receive the most appropriate care for your individual circumstances.
Is the Panorama Prenatal Test suitable for every pregnancy?
Although the Panorama Prenatal Test is suitable for many pregnancies, it may not be appropriate in every situation. Your consultant will review your medical history, pregnancy, and previous screening results before recommending the most suitable prenatal screening option.
