We run 4 national population screening programmes: 3 that screen for cancer, and 1 that screens for diabetic retinopathy.
Our programmes focus on looking for early signs of disease in healthy people, so that we can:
- detect health issues early
- help prevent disease
- ensure that anyone who does develop the disease being screened for has the best chance of early, more effective treatment
- reduce people’s risk of developing a disease or its complications
- support people in making informed decisions about their health

What we do
Our programmes invite large groups of healthy people for screening to check for changes or early signs of disease.
Here is some of the work we do:
- National population screening programmes.
- Quality assurance - making sure the quality of screening meets high standards.
- Health equity - improving access so that everyone has access to screening regardless of who they are, where they are from, and how they define themselves or are defined.
- Research, responding to research, and giving others access to the results of data to help others.
