National Screening Programs

Posted on January 10th, 2022

Screening is a way of finding out if people have a higher chance of having a health problem, so that early treatment can be offered or information given to help them make informed decisions.

The aim is to offer screening to the people who are most likely to benefit from it.

Screening is always a choice.
