The UK National Screening Committee (UK NSC) received 26 proposals in response to its 2024 annual open call for topics.
The 26 submissions from a wide range of stakeholders, combined with 5 submissions held over from the previous annual call, include:
- 10 targeted screening proposals
- 12 submissions to modify existing screening programmes
- 5 new population screening topics
- 4 proposals for topic early updates
We would like to thank all the individuals and organisations who took the time and effort to formulate and submit the proposals.
The UK NSC, supported by an expert evaluation group, will carefully consider all the submissions, and respond individually to everyone who put them forward.
The committee will then decide which of the topics need more detailed work to determine if they might inform a future screening recommendation.
Please watch this space for developments.
