Breast screening
The Northampton breast screening service invites eligible women from this practice for breast screening every 3 years.
- Eligible women are those women aged 50 to 70
- There will also be an extension trial where women in the groups 47 to 49 and 70 to 73 will be selected randomly
- Special arrangements can be made for those women who have special needs.
(In formation will be enclosed with your letter from the breast screening service) - Dr Sefton and Partners would encourage all eligible women to attend when called.
(Please note that this is for routine screening – any women who have any symptoms with their breasts should make an appointment in surgery to see a doctor). - Any woman over 70 years of age will not be routinely called but may request screening by contacting the breast screening service on 01604 545830.
