It’s nearly Christmas and as we get ready for fun and the festive onslaught we thought we’d take a quick look back over the year’s most memorable news and achievements brought to you by the one and only PHE Screening blog…
Information about education and training for the NHS Screening Programmes is now on GOV.UK. This includes guidance and resources previously found on the CPD Screening website.
If your screening service needs to put in any last-minute pre-Christmas leaflet orders, the message is: make sure you get them to national print supplier Harlow Printing Ltd before 20 December.
It never ceases to amaze me what we can accomplish when we get the right people in the room. Around 50 delegates from the Screening quality Assurance Service (SQAS) North and Screening and Immunisation Teams (SITs) in the region along with Jane Woodland, Regional Head of QA Midlands and East, and newborn blood spot (NBS) laboratory directors attended a recent away day event.
We have now published new and improved key performance indicator (KPI) data publications. The KPIs are used to measure how the NHS screening programmes are performing and aim to give a high level overview of programme quality.
Today we’ve published our report that celebrates the influence and achievements of the world-leading NHS screening programmes during 2016 to 2017 (1 April 2016 to 31 March 2017).
