Breast Screening Programme
In Northern Ireland, approximately 1/3 of all women diagnosed with Breast cancer have been through the NHS Breast Screening Programme.
All women in the UK between 50-70 years are invited three yearly for free breast screening. When over the age of 70 years, you can contact your local NHS Breast Screening Programme Centre to make an appointment. Women between the ages of 40-49 years can contact Action Cancer to book a mammogram appointment (028 9080 3344).
The Promoting Informed Choice Team are available to deliver information on the Breast Screening Programme to Trust staff or community groups. Please Contact Paula Kennedy, BHSCT Promoting Informed Choice Lead.
