As part of the promotion of breast awareness, women are encouraged to accept their breast screening invitations. However, like other screening tests, mammography is not perfect and all women invited to participate in the National Health Service Breast Screening Programme need to understand the potential benefits and harm in doing so and to be able to make an informed choice about whether or not they wish to participate.
To enable an informed choice to be made, all breast screening invitations include a national information leaflet, “Breast Screening: The Facts”. Over two million copies of this leaflet are printed each year and it can be viewed at NHS Cancer Screening Programmes website at:
www.cancerscreening.nhs.uk/breastscreen/publications/nhsbsp-the-facts-english-2007.pdf
along with other related publications.
Language and access to acceptable and meaningful information can prevent some women from taking up their invitation for screening. This is why “Breast Screening: The Facts” has been translated into 18 languages.
We know that there are specific groups of women who are less likely to attend for screening, for example, women from some minority ethnic groups and women in inner-city areas and in December 2003, NHS Cancer Screening Programmes published “Inequalities of Access to Cancer Screening: A Literature Review” to address this. The recommendations in this review have been sent to all local screening programmes and a number of local actions have been put into place to combat inequalities.
This year is the 20th anniversary of the NHS Breast Screening Programme and there will be a number of event’s across the country to mark the anniversary which, in part, will be used to educate and inform the public about breast screening and screening in general.
To assist the NHS Breast Screening Programme in raising awareness about the availability of breast cancer screening, NHS Cancer Screening Programmes issued a regional communications pack to all local breast screening programmes in 2004, which includes advice on raising the awareness of breast screening. The recently published Cancer Reform Strategy, which sets out the future direction of cancer services in England, noted the need for primary care trust commissioners to develop local targeted programmes to increase the uptake of breast screening invites.
The following tables give coverage data for breast screening for each of the last three years by primary care trust (PCT).
