The Breast Screening Programme continues to invite women between the ages of 50 to 70. Women over the age of 71 can contact the screening office to request a routine mammogram.
We are sending open invitation letters to women who are due a mammogram asking them to contact the office to arrange an appointment. We strongly advise you to attend at this time. Covid-19 safety measures are in place when you attend including longer slots and intense cleaning between screening. This means a reduced capacity making availability more limited.
We are currently inviting the eligible women from the Oswestry area. Unfortunately, we will not be locating our mobile van at the RJ & AH this time but will be able to offer these women appointments at the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital. The Covid-19 pandemic has made a huge reduction in the amount of women that we can screen daily. Inviting these women to RSH will mean that we can obtain more appointment slots to be able to screen more women. We do appreciate that these women will have to travel slightly further for their mammogram.
Please do not forget to keep breast aware, if you do notice any abnormal changes, contact your local GP straight away. When you do attend hospital appointments please attend wearing an appropriate face covering.
