We invite all women to have their first breast screening between the ages of 50 and 53. Then you’ll be invited every 3 years until you turn 71. This is because most breast cancers develop in women over the age of 50.
Please make sure your GP surgery has your correct and up to date contact details so we can invite you. This includes your:
– Name
– Date of birth
– Address
– Up to date contact number
– Email address
If you are transgender or non-binary and you would like to be invited for breast screening, talk to your GP surgery. They can advise if you can have breast screening. Find more information on screening for transgender and non-binary people on the link below.
If you are 71 or over, you can still choose to have breast screening every 3 years, but you will not be automatically invited. To make an appointment, find your local breast screening unit or ask your GP surgery for contact details.
