Currently all women between 50 years old and their 71st birthday who are registered with a GP are eligible for breast screening.  Broadgreen Hospital invites women by their GP practice in turn. Screening for Ash Surgery patients occurs in June and patients are invited to be re-screened every 3 years.

As the list of patients is compiled from current GP records, it is important to make sure your registered details are correct and up to date.  Please contact the practice if you would like check or update your details.

The invitation is sent out automatically, so there is no need to phone and make your own appointment. The letter of invitation will include:

• A leaflet about breast screening
• A map of the location
• The date and time of appointment

All women who are registered with a GP will receive their first invitation for a mammogram sometime between their 50th and 53rd birthdays. If you have not received an invitation for breast screening and you are 53 or over please contact The Breast Unit direct.

The Liverpool Breast Screening programme has started the first phase of the ‘Extended Breast Screening’, which will continue to expand gradually over the next few years to include all women between the ages of 47- 73 years.
