Patient Panel into Cancer Screening Programmes

We held a Patient Panel on Cancer Screenings with Caroline Cook, the Early Diagnosis Programme Lead at the North East London Cancer Alliance.

We learnt all about the three NHS Cancer Screening programmes, for Bowel, Breast and Cervical cancers. It was a great opportunity to understand how important preventative cancer screenings are, and how and where to access them.

Important discussions also came up when talking about the difference between screening programmes and diagnostic testing and the barriers towards accessing screenings.
