The National Screening Service (NSS) delivers four national population-based screening programmes – for cervical, breast and bowel screening and for detecting sight-threatening retinopathy in people with diabetes.

Our programmes focus on looking for early signs of disease in healthy people, so that we can:

• detect health issues early
• help prevent disease
• ensure that anyone who does develop the disease being screened for has the best chance of early, more effective treatment
• reduce people’s risk of developing a disease or its complications • support people in making informed decisions about their health

Choose Screening: Together we can make a difference the National Screening Service 5year Strategic Plan outlining our strategic priorities and goals for the years 2023-2027.

Our mission: We deliver population screening programmes that help prevent, reduce the risk of, and assist the recognition of, disease in Ireland.

Our vision: To work together to save lives and improve people’s health through population screening. The role of the National Screening Service also includes policy, development and advice.
