UK NSC consultations

The UK National Screening Committee (UK NSC) runs several types of public consultations.

Condition recommendation consultations

These relate to whether to screen for a certain condition. They are the most common type of consultation. The UK NSC reviews conditions every 3 years to determine whether it can recommend a population screening programme. You can find these conditions in the UK NSC’s recommendations list.

There are slightly different review processes depending on whether the condition is currently recommended or not currently recommended for screening.

Current population screening programme consultations are for:

  • iron deficiency anaemia in children
  • lung cancer
  • autism

Programme change consultations

For conditions where there is already a population screening programme, the UK NSC carries out programme change reviews. They relate to how to screen, rather than whether to screen. They are to make recommendations on changing an existing programme, for instance to introduce a new type of screening test.

There are no current programme change consultations.

Closed programme change consultations
