About the GBS3 trial
What will happen if you take part?
Each hospital involved in the GBS3 trial is randomly allocated to one of 2 testing groups or to continue undertaking the current UK strategy.
This means that all women who are pregnant and give birth at that hospital will be treated in the same way (unless advised otherwise by your doctor or midwife).
Depending on what group your hospital has been assigned to will depend on whether you are tested for group B Strep and what type of testing you are offered.
