Assess the current state of early screening programmes against a structured set of criteria rather than impressions.
Planning Early Screening and Community Prevention Programmes
A practical programme in early screening programmes for professionals who are accountable for results, not just awareness.
Course Overview
Cost pressure and quality expectations on early screening programmes are rising at the same time. The data supporting this part of health and pharmaceutical services is usually present but rarely assembled into a decision. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about the practice within health and pharmaceutical services under scrutiny. It treats early screening programmes as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. Each session closes with a decision the participant must justify about the health and pharmaceutical services capability in their own setting. Across sectors, teams that rehearse this part of health and pharmaceutical services outperform teams that only plan it. Moving early screening programmes from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. The content is relevant to those who own this area of health and pharmaceutical services and to those who are held accountable for its results. The final session converts the week's work on this strand of health and pharmaceutical services into commitments with owners and dates.
