PERFORMS Scheme

NHS Breast Screening Personnel

In order to participate in the PERFORMS scheme, NHS Breast Screening Programme professionals should first register by creating an account (see "Create new account" towards the top right of this page).

We will then verify your eligibility for the scheme before approving the account, which will permit participation:

• If you are able to conduct breast screening we will send the PERFORMS case set to your IT or PACs specialist via USB, DVD, OneDrive link, etc. for loading on to the workstation or PACs that you are already familiar with using. If your centre has not previously had PERFORMS cases loaded, test images can be sent beforehand to ensure compatibility with your particular system.

• Reporting is normally carried out via our online web application running in a browser, either on your workstation or on a separate laptop immediately next to it. 

• All your confidential results and reports are accessible on this website by logging into the secure section of this site. 

Non Breast Screening personnel Sectors

If you would like to participate in the PERFORMS scheme and work within the UK but are not employed in the UK’s NHS Breast Screening Programme (e.g. a symptomatic radiologist) then it may be possible for you to do so, if it is appropriate, by paying a suitable fee.

Please contact us for further information.
