North East Scotland Mobile Breast Screening Unit Keith 2021

NHSG/22/21

The North East Scotland Mobile Breast Screening Service will commence screening in Keith on Friday 16th April 2021 until approximately 28th May 2021. The Mobile Unit will be sited in the Tesco car park, Moss Street, Keith AB55 5HB.

Women aged 50-70 years of age who are registered with a General Practitioner at Keith Medical Group 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 for screening this time."
