Screening information for people experiencing homelessness

The four NHS Cancer Alliances in London commissioned Groundswell, a homelessness charity, to develop cancer screening guides for people experiencing homelessness in the capital. This was achieved with support from NHS London Region Cancer Screening Commissioning Team. 

The three guides focus on each of the national cancer screening programmes (bowel, breast and cervical). The guides are tailored for people experiencing homelessness and those who support them. They provide information on what cancer screening is, why it is important, how to take part and what reasonable adjustments are in place to encourage screening participation. 

Print and electronic guides in English are available on the Groundswell resource hub and the Transformation Partners in Health and Care Cancer Screening Directory webpages. Translated versions will be available soon. Please share with GP practices, local authority and ICB colleagues who work closely with homeless health services
