The screening and symptomatic breast services utilise separate IT systems, which unfortunately do not have interoperability to enable information to be shared between them.
For this reason, all women meeting the eligibility criteria for invitation via the breast screening programme are invited. This is to ensure that women are not inadvertently missed by the routine breast screening programme.
If you have had a mammogram elsewhere. For example, if you recently moved into the area or had a mammogram privately these will not be recorded on the London Breast Screening system so you will still be sent an invitation when you meet our eligibility criteria.
