Key messages for primary care from the Good Practice Screening Guide include to:

• designate a cancer screening lead from a member of the practice healthcare team
• check patient contact details at each encounter and regularly maintain the practice list
• ensure that the practice has the most up-to-date mobile phone number for patients and has obtained the appropriate consent for using this number
• ensure that prior notification lists for cervical screening are dealt with promptly
• ensure that advance lists (where available) for bowel screening are dealt with promptly
• ensure that did-not-attend/non-responder reports are flagged in patient records, using the correct codes, and followed-up promptly
• offer cervical screening opportunistically if due or appointment missed
• actively promote cancer screening within the practice
• do not omit patients with special or additional needs and ensure arrangements are in place for them
• do not omit patients with a previous cancer diagnosis as they may be at higher risk of a new cancer in the same or a different site
• ensure all practice staff know how to use the bowel screening kit and how to request a new kit
• make screening and signposting information for each screening programme readily available.
