NHS Choices provides advice on the symptoms of iron deficiency anaemia, such as fatigue, palpitations, pale complexion and advises anyone experiencing those symptoms speak to their general practitioner (GP). NHS Choices also provides advice on the less common types of anaemia related to levels of vitamin B12 or folate.</p><p> </p><p>It is the responsibility of GPs, using their clinical judgement and supported by relevant guidance, to arrange the appropriate tests and investigations that may lead to a diagnosis. The full blood count, one the most commonly used tests in the National Health Service, is a broad screening tool used to provide a picture of patient health and check for indications of disorders such as anaemia, infection, and many other diseases.</p><p> </p><p>A range of guidance on the further testing and treatment of all types anaemia is available from sources including the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence Clinical Knowledge Summaries (CKS) website.

star this property answer text <p>The Commission on Human Medicines published the report of its Expert Working Group on Hormone Pregnancy Tests on 15 November 2017. This was the culmination of an extensive and thorough review of all the available relevant evidence on a possible association between Hormone Pregnancy Tests and adverse outcomes of pregnancy by a panel comprising independent experts of international standing in relevant scientific and medical specialisms.</p><p> </p><p>The Expert Working Group’s overall finding, endorsed by the Commission on Human Medicines, was that the available scientific evidence, taking all aspects into consideration, did not support a causal association between the use of Hormone Pregnancy Tests, such as Primodos, during early pregnancy and adverse outcomes of pregnancy, including miscarriage, stillbirth or congenital anomalies. The Expert Working Group also made a number of important, forward-looking recommendations to further strengthen the systems in place for detecting, evaluating, managing and communicating safety concerns associated with use of medicines in early pregnancy.</p><p> </p><p>Departmental ministers have accepted the report’s conclusions and recommendations. The focus is now on implementing these recommendations.</p>
