<p>In July 2017, Public Health England published a leaflet for people who are transgender
or non-binary to help provide information about National Health Service population
screening programmes that are available. This leaflet is available at the following
link:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/nhs-population-screening-information-for-transgender-people"
target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/nhs-population-screening-information-for-transgender-people</a></p><p>The
leaflet helps ensure that trans people can access the screening that is most appropriate
for them. The leaflet also outlines who the NHS screening programmes invite for breast
screening, bowel cancer, cervical screening and abdominal aortic aneurysm screening
and includes important information about all four screening programmes as well as
how to access additional support and advice.</p><p>Routine breast screening is available
to both trans men and trans women. It is important that to access this offer, trans
men and women are registered at their general practice as a female. A trans man, if
registered with their general practitioner (GP) as a man, can still access breast
screening if they talk to their GP to arrange a referral. This guidance can be viewed
at page six of the guidance available at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/814364/Screening_information_for_trans_and_non_binary_people.pdf"
