"Attending Mobile Breast Screening in NHS Lanarkshire"

About: NHS Lanarkshire West Scotland Breast Screening Centre

(as the patient),

I have today attended the mobile breast screening service in NHS Lanarkshire and I have to say I was treated by a lovely radiographer who did her best to put me at ease. I was treated in such a person centred way not rushed or made to feel embarrassed.

I dont use the health service much l am lucky but the service I received today was first class

Dear stakeholder,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience of the mobile breast screening service.

I’m delighted to hear you felt supported and put at ease by the radiographer. The staff realise that some women may feel embarrassed or anxious and be worried about physical discomfort. Breast screening is really important as it can find breast cancer before any symptoms become noticeable.

NHS Scotland invites women between the age of 50 to 70 to attend for screening every three years but the decision to attend screening is a personal choice.

I hope your story will encourage women to take up the offer of screening.

I’ll pass your kind comments onto our colleagues at the West of Scotland Breast Screening Centre who staff the mobile units.
