Warwickshire, Solihull & Coventry Breast Screening Service

If you receive a letter inviting you to contact us for an appointment, please contact the screening office to arrange a convenient date and time to attend. For those clients who already have a pre-booked appointment please attend this if possible.
The letter will be sent from our head office based in Coventry, but your appointment can be arranged at various sites across the region.
If you are aged 71 or over, you can now self-refer for a mammogram if you have not had one in the last 3years, please contact us to arrange this.
Our appointments are at seven-minute intervals. If you have been invited to a mobile unit and have mobility problems, including difficulty with steps, please contact the Screening Office.

The Warwickshire, Solihull & Coventry Breast Screening Service is part of the National Breast Screening Programme (NHSBSP) and is one of the largest breast screening services in England, inviting around 55,000 women for screening each year. We provide a free breast screening service for well women aged between 50 and 71, resident in Coventry, Solihull and Warwickshire.

We aim to provide and promote an efficient and effective, high quality breast screening service, to all eligible women within a caring environment.

Breast screening aims to find breast cancer at an early stage, often before there are any symptoms. To do this, an x-ray is taken of each breast (mammogram). Early detection may often mean simpler and more successful treatment.

Text reminder service

Breast screening has been available in Coventry for 30 years now and sadly a lot of women miss their appointments. To see if this trend can be reversed, we are now offering you a text reminder service just prior to your appointment. You can give us your mobile phone number in either of two ways:

• Use our online form to submit your mobile number. Click here to open the online form.
• Telephone the screening office on 024 7696 7163 and leave your name, address and mobile number on the voicemail service.

Please be assured your mobile number will only be used by the Breast Screening Service for the purpose of reminding you of your appointment. Thank you for helping us and we do hope you will take this opportunity of having this very important health screen.
