Our impact

International adoption

  • PERFORMS is a requirement for all screening mammography readers in the NHS Breast Screening Programme Quality Assurance Guidelines for Breast Cancer Screening Radiology.
  • The reach of the programme has been extended internationally to countries that do not typically have a national screening programme – including Australia, Belarus, the USA, Poland and elsewhere across Europe.
