How to counsel parents: Part 1

A guide for consultant neonatologists



Dear Consultant Neonatologist,

Welcome to our blog! Every day we keep hearing more stories of parents having been given misinformation, half-truths and even lies by your colleagues. So we thought we should write a guide on how to counsel parents who have had a prenatal or postnatal diagnosis of trisomy 18 (or trisomy 13, or in fact any life limiting condition) and who plan to continue their pregnancy.
