The right results: Guide to the correct processing and issuing of results
Published May 2003 | ISBN 978 1 84463 001 3 | Archived
The aim of this guide is to help breast screening services to develop local protocols to ensure that the results from breast screening are processed and issued correctly. The protocols must prevent the production of a normal result letter for a woman who requires recall for assessment or a technical recall.
The previous version of this guide, which was published as The Right Results (Guide to Good Office Practice 6) in October 1995, was written for users of the National Breast Screening Computer System (NBSS).This updated version includes guidance for all breast screening services.
