At our Practice, we very much support this NHS screening programme and encourage all women who are eligible to participate. We know that screening can detect changes in the breast before they develop into Cancer and this has contributed towards the prevention of lengthy and difficult treatments whilst it has also helped to save many lives. As such we encourage you to consider taking up your breast screening invitation as soon as possible.

If the breast screening unit has left your town, you will still be able to go to a neighbouring location. Make sure you ask the operator where the unit will be and book a location convenient for you. You do not need to wait for the screening unit to come back to your local town it could be as long as 3 – years before it returns.
