THIS MESSAGE WAS RECEIVED FROM THE SWQARC
Dear Colleagues
I am pleased to announce that the Cervical Screening and Cancer e-Atlas is live from today. The aim of the Atlas, which has been commissioned by the NHS Cervical Screening Programme (NHSCSP) is to provide the public, health care professionals, commissioners and health service managers with the most up to date combined information on screening (coverage, timeliness and results) and cancer (incidence, mortality and survival) for England, in the same place for the first time.
The Cervical Screening and Cancer e-Atlas uses data from the UK Cancer Information Service (UKCIS) and cervical screening data from The Health and Social Care Information Centre.
