The HSE’s National Screening Service has published A guide to Screening for Carers and the People they Support – which provides a practical guide to screening.
The NSS consulted with a wide range of stakeholders, including staff, NSS Public and Patient Partnership Representatives, Care Alliance Ireland, Family Carers Ireland, disability advocates and service providers to develop the guide.
The guide will help paid and unpaid carers and the people they support to:
- understand what screening programmes are available and who is eligible to take part in them
- understand and explain our screening programmes to others
- make their own decisions about taking part in screening
- register for screening
- contact screening programmes if additional supports are needed.
