Cancer screening in the UK

Screening invitations arrive by post, which means they fail for exactly the people who move most often.

This guide covers the three national programmes with their age ranges and intervals, explains the difference between screening and seeing a doctor about symptoms, and sets out why an invitation may never arrive: not registered with a GP, an out-of-date address after moving, or a misspelled name on the record.

The full guidance is written in Persian for the people using it. Switch to فارسی to read it.
