This document supports the following recommendation made by the 4 UK chief medical officers (CMOs) for the expanded remit of the UK National Screening Committee (UK NSC) following the independent review of adult screening programmes in England:
It is suggested that the secretariat for the new UK NSC expands the evidence review process to include potential targeted screening programmes and should consider as a minimum:
- any additional steps that need to be factored in for proposals for targeted screening programmes
- the process for working with the National institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) and the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN) on clinical care guidelines
- any additional steps for evaluating a stratified screening approach for either population or targeted screening programmes
