My company would like to organise breast screening for our employees. Can we have a mobile on site?
The NHS Breast Screening Programme isn't organised like this. All breast screening units (including mobile ones) serve a defined population of eligible women (aged 50 to 70) who are invited for breast screening every three years based on their GP practices.
If you are interested in encouraging women to be 'breast aware' and to accept their invitations for breast screening we suggest you contact your local health authority to see if they have health promotion people who could help you.
