The NHS Mobile Breast Screening Unit will be arriving at the medical centre at the end of July and is expected to remain for at least 2 months. Women aged 50 to 71 years old are entitled to breast screening every 3 years. The screening service will be contacting eligible patients and offering them an appointment. Breast screening saves 1,300 lives every year so if you do get an appointment letter please do attend this essential screening. Please note appointments are arranged via the breast screening service and so all enquiries should be directed to them (contact details will be on your appointment letter) and NOT the surgery as we do not have access to their appointment system. When attending your appointment please go directly to the mobile unit, you do not need to come into the surgery reception.
