Breast Cancer Screening Unit in Charlbury

All women aged 50 and over are encouraged to have a mammogram every three years. Women who are patients of Charlbury Medical Centre are invited to come to the mobile screening unit parked outside the medical centre.

It is important to know that women who are aged over 70 are also very welcome to book an appointment, screening does not stop after your 70th birthday. If you have not had a mammogram in the last three years and would like to book an appointment, please ring 01865 235 621 where they will be pleased to help you.

The mammogram will be taken by qualified, female radiographers. It will take around half an hour.

The objective of the mammogram is to detect breast cancer in its early stage and thereby reduce the number of deaths from breast cancer.
