Please help by signing our e-petition!

Please sign our e-petition calling for every woman to be routinely given accurate information about group B Streptococcus (group B Strep or GBS) during her antenatal care; every low-risk woman to be offered a sensitive test for GBS, ideally at 35-37 weeks of pregnancy; and every higher-risk woman to be offered antibiotics in labour.

Click here to be taken to the petition to sign it (opens in a new window).  Once you've signed the epetition, you will be send an email asking you to click on an link within that email to confirm your signature.  You need to click this link before your signature is registered.

You can share the petition directly from the epetition website via Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn. 

Please sign and share the link with as many people as possible. If the petition gets 100,000 signatures, then the issue should be debated in the House of Commons and that can only be good.

The ePetition has a closing date of 15 August 2012, so there's plenty of time to sign and share it!

If you would prefer to download a sheet to fill in (or ask your friends to), you can find one by clicking here.  You can send the completed forms to us (Fax: 0870 803 0024, email info@gbss.org.uk or post to GBSS, PO Box 203, Haywards Heath RH16 1GF) or you can enter the details yourself on the petition site.  This is an online petition and so an email address is needed so HM Government epetition can send an email to verify the signature.  Without clicking the verification link, the signature won't be added.
