Who we screen

Women aged between 50 and up to 71

All women between 50 and up to 71 years who are registered with a GP are eligible for screening. A list is compiled from GP records, so it is important to make sure your details are correct.

The invitation is sent out automatically, so there is no need to phone and make your own appointment. All women will receive their first invitation for a mammogram sometime between their 50th and 53rd birthdays.

We invite doctor’s practices for screening in turn, so women will not necessarily get their invitation in the year that they turn 50. As long as you are registered with a GP, you will receive an invitation before your 53rd birthday.



Women aged 71 and over

Women aged 71 and over may contact us and must self refer to book a breast screening appointment by contacting us on 020 3758 2024.

Please remember that anyone of any age with concerns about their breasts should contact their GP immediately.
