Women’s Cancer Screening Taskforce: Empowering the Hidden Heroes Behind Every Diagnosis
Women’s cancer screening saves lives, but today the system and the workforce that underpins it are under significant strain. As a key technology provider in both cervical and breast cancer screening, Hologic convened a Taskforce of breast and cervical cancer screening experts, to explore the challenges and opportunities facing the UK’s screening services.
This report draws on the insights from the members of the Taskforce, as well as insights gathered from experts during a series of evidence sessions conducted in Spring 2025. It identifies urgent barriers to early diagnosis and sets out practical recommendations to build a future-ready screening system – one that is innovative, equitable and grounded in the expertise of its workforce.
