The BreastScreen Aotearoa Advisory Group was established in 2003 to support the National Screening Unit (NSU) to achieve its vision, namely;

Saving lives, reducing inequalities, and building the Nation’s health by leading the delivery of screening programmes, uncompromising in their quality and trusted by the communities we serve.

Role of the Group

The role of the group is to:

• provide unidisciplinary context to independent BSA monitoring reports
• discuss and provide independent advice on the policy and strategic direction of BSA in New Zealand.  It is expected that members will consult widely within their own constituent groups
• discuss research and development opportunities for BSA
• provide advice from time to time on other areas as agreed by the group and BSA
• provide advice on multidisciplinary operational issues.
