Breast Screening

Access NHS Health Scotland’s most up-to-date resources on breast screening – both for health professionals to give to patients and for women who want to know more about their breast screening appointment.

The Scottish Breast Screening Programme invites women aged between 50 and 70 years old for screening every three years. Women over 70 years old are not sent an invitation to attend, but as they remain at risk they are welcome to attend through self-referral to their local screening centres.
