Breast cancer screening

NHS breast screening uses X-rays, called mammograms, to look for cancers that are too small to see or feel. About 55,000 women in the UK are diagnosed with breast cancer each year. Women between 50 and 71 years will receive automatic invites from the national programme every 3 years. If you have not received your invitation then please call 01865 235621.
