Health Education England elearning for healthcare has worked in partnership with Public Health England Screening to develop a new population screening session as part of the All Our Health elearning programme.
Population Screening covers the basics of screening, highlighting its importance and benefits, and gives health and care professionals information on the following NHS screening programmes:
- Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
- Bowel cancer
- Breast cancer
- Cervical
- Diabetic Eye
- Pregnant women and newborn babies:
- Sickle cell and thalassemia
- Infectious diseases in pregnancy
- Fetal anomaly
- Newborn an infant physical examination
- Newborn bloodspot
- Newborn hearing
- Young Person and Adult (YPA)
The bite-sized session also encourages colleagues to actively raise awareness of screening to individuals and gives advice on reducing screening inequalities by making individuals aware of the NHS screening programmes and supporting them to make informed choices about screening.
Colleagues are also signposted to other relevant resources and tools such as an introduction to population screening which is also available via elearning for healthcare.
