What changed
The UK NSC published transparency data on Blood Spot Task Group (BSTG) projects and outputs, providing status updates on ongoing BSTG work. The document notes the addition of expected finish dates to two ongoing projects in the March 2026 update. The BSTG focuses on generating practical outputs that become part of UK NSC advice on research and methodological issues once formally signed off.
Affected parties, primarily NHS and public health professionals involved in newborn blood spot screening, should monitor for BSTG output publications. These outputs will inform UK NSC methodological advice but do not create immediate compliance obligations. Healthcare providers should review signed-off BSTG outputs as they become available to stay informed on evolving screening methodology guidance.
What to do next
- Monitor UK NSC for BSTG output publications
- Review BSTG outputs when formally signed off
