Have you been invited for your 3 yearly mammogram? Don’t delay in booking your appointment. Anyone registered with a GP as female will be invited for NHS breast screening every 3 years between the ages of 50 and 71. You'll get a letter in the post inviting you. You'll automatically get your first invite for breast screening between the ages of 50 and 53. Then you'll be invited every 3 years until you turn 71. During breast screening you'll have 4 breast X-rays (mammograms), 2 for each breast. The mammogram only takes a few minutes and the whole appointment should take about 30 minutes. ➡️ https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/breast-screening-mammogram/ ➡️ https://www.yorkhospitals.nhs.uk/our-services/organdonation/a-z-of-services/breast-screening-service/

Electronic repeat dispensing (eRD)
This is a useful option for patients who are on stable, long term medication. Electronic repeat dispensing means you only need to request your medication every 6-12 months depending on your review date. Prescriptions will automatically be sent to your pharmacy every four weeks without you having to do anything. Our prescribing team are working hard to get appropriate patients signed up to this. If you are interested in this service, please contact the surgery to discuss further.
