Breast Screening

The NHS offers breast screening to eligible women aged 50 – 70, who are registered at a GP surgery screening once every 3 years.

Breast screening aims to detect breast cancer at an earlier stage, often before the woman is  aware of any problem. Currently the NHS Breast Screening Programme saves an estimated 1400 lives each year in England.

The following link will show more information about the local breast screening service and will allow you to book or amend your appointment. If you are over 70 and have not been screened for over 3 years you can also request an appointment through this link:
