The National Lung Cancer Screening Program (NLCSP) is set to roll out in July 2025 – is your team across what it means for general practice?
To help GPs and primary care practices make the most of these digital tools, The National Cancer Screening Register has developed a Primary Care Onboarding Kit.
This kit provides step-by-step guidance, including walkthrough videos, on:
- Integrating your clinical software
- Registering access for the Healthcare Provider Portal
- Leveraging the NCSR to enhance patient care
