Helping more people take up cancer screening

Community staff and health professionals play an important role in supporting people to make informed decisions about cancer screening. These resources have been developed to help you start conversations, answer common questions and signpost people to trusted information and local support.

The resources can be used during routine contacts, health promotion activities, community events and wellbeing conversations. No specialist knowledge is needed.

These resources can help you to:

  • Understand the screening programmes.
  • Start conversations about screening.
  • Answer common questions.
  • Share trusted information.
  • Signpost people to support.
  • Encourage informed choice.
