All our services are written to compliment patient-centred priorities and we ensure they are flexible in terms of implementation and cost.

We can apply for full sponsorship for services, in which case clinical reviews may be delivered with no cost implications to your GP Practice or Healthcare Organisation.

We are continually researching and developing new services which will be relevant for GP practices or GP Federations. Please contact Screen Clinical for further information on info@screenclinical.co.uk.
