(what's this?)
PatientPlus articles are written for doctors and so the language can be technical. However, some people find that they add depth to the articles found in the other sections of this website which are written for non-medical people.
Adult Screening
The National Electronic Library for Health - Screening Specialist Library is the best UK source for details on the current UK screening programmes
It has up-to-date details on screening for the following conditions (including evaluations for those conditions where screening is not currently recommended)
There is good patient and professional information at www.screening.nhs.uk which also has a continuing professional education (CPD) programme.
