Breast screening: consultation on consolidated standards

The NHS Breast Screening Programme is consolidating its standards into one document.

The consolidated standards aim to:

• encourage services to perform to high standards based on the best evidence available

• make sure women can access a high quality screening service throughout England

• give commissioners ways to assess the quality and performance of their screening services

• give local screening services mechanisms to compare themselves to national performance

• give women peace of mind that the programme is monitoring local services using evidence based targets

To respond to the consultation, please review the draft consolidated standards document and then:

• download and complete the response form

• email the completed form to jacquie.jenkins@nhs.net by Monday 27 February
