Breast screening centres in Scotland
There are 6 breast screening centres in Scotland.
You'll have your screening test at one of these centres or at a mobile screening unit.
Women between the ages of 50 and 70 will be offered an appointment by their local test centre.
GP practices only take part in the screening programme every 3 years, so you might not get your first screening invitation until you're 53.

- have a question about the test or your appointment
- need to change the date or time of your appointment
- have breast implants
- have had breast cancer
