FASP Leaflet

The NHS FASP, based in Public Health England, ensures that women are provided with high quality information in order to make an informed personal choice about their screening and pregnancy options. This information leaflet has been designed to give women and families information about their referral to the cardiology team and what to expect at their appointment.
