Public Health England (PHE) have published a new national public information leaflet that explains the NHS population screening programmes for transgender and non-binary people.

**The leaflet is required as inequalities can exist if trans individuals:**

♦ Do not know which screening programmes they are eligible for  
♦ Are not invited for screening because of the gender they are registered as with their GP

PHE have published the leaflet on GOV.UK alongside a PHE screening blog article explaining its purpose and how it was developed.
