Guidance and shared practice for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) screening providers, commissioners and other stakeholders on addressing inequalities.
Applies to England
Documents
Details
This guidance supports AAA screening providers, commissioners and other partners in identifying and reducing inequalities in AAA screening.
In this publication, the term ‘man’ includes trans women and non-binary individuals who have the same genetic risk of AAA as men and should therefore also consider accessing screening. See AAA screening information for trans and non-binary people.
We welcome shared learning examples of initiatives to tackle inequalities by reducing barriers to AAA screening. Suitable shared learning examples are published on the PHE Screening blog. These can include initiatives that did not achieve the desired objective but are still useful to share.
Please contact the PHE Screening helpdesk if you have an example of practice we could share with other providers.
Contact the screening helpdesk with any queries about this publication, making sure you include its full title.
