Prepare for the launch of the National Lung Cancer Screening Program

The National Cancer Screening Register (NCSR) has released updated resources to support healthcare providers and practice staff in integrating with the NCSR — and to help make the most of its functionality for patients eligible for bowel, cervical, and, from July 2025, lung cancer screening.

The updated and newly developed resources include:
New key messages
• A new series of walkthrough videos demonstrating how to access and use the NCSR Hub in Best Practice, MedicalDirector, and Communicare
• Our article Empowering Primary Care: Enhancing Cancer Screening with the NCSR, now available on our website and ready for you to share across your channels
• An updated Primary Care Onboarding Toolkit, now featuring the new videos to help practices incorporate NCSR Hub functionality into their regular workflows
• A refreshed Communications Toolkit, including the new walkthrough videos — we encourage you to share this with your communications or engagement teams

With the National Lung Cancer Screening Program fast approaching, now is the perfect time for general practices to streamline their processes and provide patients with easier access to their screening data.
