Breast Cancer Screening Awareness

Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting women in the UK, therefore it is really important to attend breast cancer screening when invited.

It is also helpful to understand how to check yourself for potential signs of cancer so you can speak with a healthcare professional about your concerns.

You can find out more about breast cancer screening at the NHS website here: NHS breast screening: helping you decide – GOV.UK
