- A quick blood test that can rule out a potentially fatal disease in pregnant women will be made available via the NHS in England.
It is hoped the same-day result will reassure thousands of pregnant women every year, and avoid the need for hospital stays.
The testing - known as placental growth factor (PLGF) testing - is the first of its kind in the world to rule out pre-eclampsia and is already being used in three quarters of maternity units in England.
