Using BSS, you can:

  • flag subjects as potentially being at a higher risk from breast cancer
  • add episodes to a subject's screening history
  • cease subjects from the system
  • produce reports
  • view contact lists
  • customise parameters for your local breast screening office

Breast Screening Information System

Breast Screening Information System (BSIS) is a browser-based application, that allows authorised users to:

  • upload radiology and KC62 annual returns data
  • produce reports for both radiology and KC62 returns
  • add, view and edit film readers
  • review any issues with uploaded KC62 returns data

The KC62 is a national statistical mandatory return that all breast screening units in England are required to undertake on an annual basis.
