Add Breast Screening Reporting section (#198)
* Add Breast Screening Reporting section And a first post on Data Product Design Principles. * Conform BSR content to how to guide https://design-history.prevention-services.nhs.uk/guide/how-to-add-a-new-service/ * Make 'Breast screening reporting' name consistent Some occurrences had the 'team' suffix. * Make BSR entry alphabetical in project.njk * Make 'Data product design...' page sentence case * Replace table image with markdown table * Add exact node tool version Using 22 alone didn't work: ``` $ asdf install Trying to update node-build... ok node-build: definition not found: 22 failed to run install callback: exit status 2 ``` * Fix globbing bug This was stopping the pages being picked up. Thank you to edwardhorsford for the fix! * Fix year typo * Revert asdf exact pinning * Add back design principles learnings * Fix png display typo and folder structure

Breast Screening Reporting is a data team, formed in July 2025.
6+
It focuses on the performance and reporting of screening services.
7+
It continues some of the work of Team Analyse.

**Note: this work was completed by Team Analyse. It will be carried forward by Breast Screening Reporting.**
13+

There can be a perception that data is somehow independent of its users and if they just see some numbers that’s enough. Our research into data needs showed us that not all users can use what they are given, and therefore that rolling out a product or platform is not the same as adoption among users.
15+
16+
## What we found
17+
18+
In Breast Screening Offices (BSOs) we saw that some data was:
19+
20+
- difficult to access due to problematic logins, for example
21+
- not specific enough to them to be useful
22+
- difficult to use due to the complexity of the tool
23+
- communicated using language and concepts users didn’t always understand
24+
- did not contain all the data needed to answer their questions
25+
26+
In a busy work context these can act as big barriers to valuable data.
27+
28+
In addition to data in tools and platforms there are issues with accessing data in their own system, the National Breast Screening System (NBSS) such as:
29+
30+
- specialised skills are needed to get data out using a second system
31+
- often when data is extracted, BSO admin staff users spend time manually ‘wrangling’ data before it is usable
32+
33+
## What we did
34+
35+
This evidence suggested we need some design principles to ‘keep us honest’ into the future and ensure that we are always meeting the needs of users, not just supplying the right numbers. Users must be able to easily access, understand and act on the data they need.
36+
37+
The draft of design principles below was inspired by NHS design principles and adapted for data users in breast screening.
38+
39+
![1. Be relevant and useful
40+
Understand what data I need to answer my question
41+
2. Keep it simple
42+
Don’t overload me with options and possibilities in a tool I may be unfamiliar with; I am busy. Help me focus on what’s relevant to my question
43+
3. Make it easy to access
44+
Logins and permissions can be a barrier in busy environments. I may only need data infrequently logins can expire.
45+
4. Make it easy to understand
46+
I may not be expert in understanding data or statistics. I should not need special training. Avoid jargon.
47+
5. Don’t make me do work for the data I need
48+
Data should work hard for me
49+
6. Add value and insight
50+
Highlight where I need to pay attention; help me find patterns; join data sets for me that help me answer a question](data-product-design-principles.png)
51+
52+
## What’s next
53+
54+
As we continue our work we will refer to these principles to ensure the NHS gets the full value from the data we make available.
