Screening
Screening is a way of finding out if people have a higher chance of having a health problem, so that early treatment can be offered or information given to help them make informed decisions.
The NHS website gives an overview of screening, with links to the different types of screening offered by the NHS in England.
Vaccinations
Vaccines are the most effective way to prevent many infectious diseases.
Vaccination is the most important thing we can do to protect ourselves and our children against ill health. They prevent millions of deaths worldwide every year.
However, if people stop having vaccines, it's possible for infectious diseases to quickly spread again.
You can find out more about the routine vaccinations provided by the NHS on this website.
If you're planning to travel outside the UK, you may need to be vaccinated against some of the serious diseases found in other parts of the world. You can find out more about these vaccinations on the NHS website.
