Details of Service 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. These programmes aim to reduce morbidity and mortality in the population through early detection and treatment across the programmes. Screening programmes internationally and in Ireland are based on a call/re-call system where eligible and non-symptomatic populations are invited to take part and clinical services are provided for the further investigation and treatment of people identified as at risk of having or developing disease. BreastCheck is a government–funded programme that provides free mammograms to women on an area-by-area basis every two years. The aim of BreastCheck is to reduce the mortality and morbidity associated with Breast cancer by finding and treating the disease at an early stage. The benefits of a national population-based screening program are: It looks for risk markers of a disease in an apparently healthy population that is at risk of the disease. It targets people in a population at risk of the disease who believe themselves to be well (free from the disease that they are being screened for)—they are asymptomatic. It avoids unnecessary tests while detecting the presence of the disease as early as possible in its development, to improve the prognosis following diagnosis. It enables referral of abnormal or positive screening results for further investigation and treatment if necessary.
