The North East Scotland Mobile Breast Screening Service will commence screening in Aberlour on Monday 26th April 2021 until the beginning of June 2021. The Mobile Unit will be sited in the car park opposite Aberlour Health Centre, Queens Road, Aberlour, AB38 9PR.

Women aged 50-70 years of age who are registered with a General Practitioner at Rinnes Medical Group, Aberlour Health Centre and Glenlivet Medical Practice will receive an invitation to attend. The letters are sent out 4 weeks before their appointment date.

Mrs Sarah Philip, Manager for the Breast Screening Service said “The aim of the programme is to detect breast changes at an early stage when treatment has the best chance of being successful. We hope that women invited for the first time will take advantage of their invitation for mammography and for women who have been screened previously, it is important to attend to ensure that there have been no changes over the past three years. The risk of developing breast cancer increases as you get older, so if any woman missed or failed to attend their previous invitation, it is still important to come along."
