Breast Test and Training System (PERFORMS)

Notice Description

The Breast Test and Train (TaT) service supports the quality assurance work and provides NHSE with assurance of the ability of radiologists within the NHS Breast Screening Programme (NHSBSP) to accurately detect the range of cancers that they might be presented with in the population.
