Information for healthcare providers

The National Cancer Screening Register (NCSR) plays a vital role in supporting the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program and the National Cervical Screening Program.

The three main functions of the NCSR are to:

send invitations and reminder letters to participants
provide a safety net for when a person is at risk
provide access to your patients’ screening information.

Healthcare providers can access and submit information to the NCSR via a range of digital channels, including a Healthcare Provider Portal and by integrating your clinical software.

You can also complete requests on patients’ behalf, such as requesting to defer next screening dates or ordering replacement bowel test kits to be issued to a patient’s home, or issue kits directly to eligible patients via the alternative access to kits model.

Updated Participant Details and Alternative Access to Kits Model forms

Changes have been made to simplify these forms.

When issuing a kit to a patient through the Alternative Access to Kits Model, you will now see a shorter form with a new name.

The previous form called NBCSP – Alternative Access Model (Issue/Re-Issue Kit) is now called NBCSP – Bowel Kit Issued by Healthcare Provider

Supporting your patients

The NCSR digitally links healthcare providers and laboratories to participant screening information to inform appropriate clinical management.

NBCSP alternative access to kits
