The Breast Screening Service is a free service available for women aged 50-70, once every three years.
Screening is by appointment only and invitations to attend will be sent in the post. Women over the age of 70 will not be sent a routine invitation, but are welcome to request screening if they wish, by contacting their local Breast Screening Centre to make an appointment - 01294 323 506.
Regular screening every three years is the best way to detect breast cancer at an early stage, when treatment is most likley to be effective.
