 The principal aim of history taking is to screen for predictive risk indicators that may predispose the newborn to an adverse postnatal transition or presence of an abnormality that requires an appropriate and timely referral for further diagnostics.

 The newborn examination history‐taking process should be mapped to the Public Health England (PHE) Antenatal and Newborn Screening Programme and be used as a benchmark for screening and assessment of risk factors in the neonatal period and beyond.

 Identification of risk factors within the newborn examination can isolate and target health promotion issues.
