The UK National Screening Committee (UK NSC) is pleased to announce 2 new dates for its online, interactive screening masterclass.

The masterclass is designed for people with an interest in screening policy and practice and is suitable for those working in screening programmes, public health, healthcare, research and related fields. We also welcome people who contribute to screening through public and patient involvement.

Sessions combine presentations, discussion, practical exercises and quizzes, giving participants the opportunity to learn alongside colleagues from a range of professional and public involvement backgrounds.

The programme includes topics such as:

  • the principles of screening
  • how screening recommendations are developed
  • the role of evidence in screening policy
  • the benefits, risks and challenges of screening programmes
