Screening Programmes - Session 12

Lead: Ian Diley, Consultant in Public Health

Screening programmes are an important tool in our efforts to prevent disease. But how do we decide which diseases to screen for, and what are the risks and benefits of the programmes? We need to encourage our residents to attend appropriate screening programmes but we also need to ensure we are able to give them clear information so they can make an informed and empowered decision. This session aims to help provide answers to some of the questions that the public may have for us.
