Background
The screening masterclasses have been running for many years and evaluate very highly as a great interactive learning session for people from a wide range of backgrounds and with varying levels of screening knowledge. There is something for everyone.
Sessions are held over Microsoft Teams and use different teaching methods, including case studies, fun quizzes and practical exercises.
The masterclass includes an in-depth look at:
- what screening is (and is not)
- how you define a high-quality screening service
- how to be an effective public health practitioner
- the current NHS screening programmes
- the role and remit of the UK NSC
- quality assurance (QA) in action
We leave space in the programme for experience sharing, questions and your feedback.
The classes are facilitated by screening expert Dr Angela Raffle, supported by Jo Harcombe and Nadia Permalloo.
