Breast Screening

North Yorkshire Breast Screening

What is Breast screening?

The National breast screening service is free and all women aged from 50 years up to their 71st birthday are invited for breast screening every 3 years. NHS breast screening uses X-rays, called mammograms, to look for cancers that are too small to see or feel. More information on the NHS website or see the Easy-read guide to breast screening.

How do I get an appointment?

When the screening service is in your area you will receive a letter inviting you for breast screening. Please ensure we have your correct contact details so you can receive your invite. If you are overdue and have recently registered with the practice or have moved to the area please contact the breast screening team on 01904 725590 01904 725591 or email NorthYorkshire.BreastScreeningService@YORK.NHS.UK to arrange an appointment.

> Please note, women over 71years old may self-refer.

> Please remain breast aware. If you notice any changes that are unusual for you, contact the practice for an appointment as soon as you can.

We are been asked to sign an increasing number of City of York Council Council Tax exemption forms. It is important patients are aware that only patients with severe and permanent mental illness or memory impairment are eligible for exemption. When we are asked to complete the form, we will either agree with the statement that the patient is eligible, or we can sign to say we do not agree following a review of the medical records.

As we head in to the summer months, it’s a useful time to highlight that we cannot help with medical issues if you are on holiday abroad. Remember to pack sun cream and a good first aid kit when travelling. Pharmacies in Europe can often help with minor illness such as ear ache or insect bites. In the event that you need medical assistance while on holiday, you should seek a local service and inform your insurance company as appropriate. We recommend you have adequate travel insurance. If you are travelling to a country in the Europe Economic Area (EEA), you can apply for a free UK Global Health Insurance Card (EHIC) which may give you access to free or reduced cost medical treatment.
