ONEL SMI Breast Screening project

The project is nearly over and will draw to a close on 30th September. Once the project has ended, the template will remain active for ongoing use (without LIS), with clinical support remaining available from Dr Rai and wSMI patients can still be referred to InHealth via the nominated email address. However, any inactive practices by project end will need to have LIS funding drawn back from their PCNs.

Since the project started,  58 referrals have been received by InHealth, with a final report being made available in October. Currently, around 52.3% of wSMI remain unscreened in BHR, reflecting approximately a 15% improvement since last year and 5% since the project launched. 

Furthermore, the project has supported the ongoing case for digitally coded breast screening results which are now being made available to opted-in GP practices! This will have been emailed to all practices and we encourage all GPs to please opt in, via the details below
