Cancer Screening

Screening is a way of detecting any abnormalities and catching them early. In many cases it can prevent cancer from developing in the first place.

The NHS UK offers 3 different types of screening programmes for all eligible people. Breast Screening, Cervical Screening and Bowel Screening. If you are eligible you will be contacted and invited automatically.

Please see the following links for more information and advice.
