Breast Screening Service
Statham Grove Surgery encourages all women between the ages of 50-70 years to attend breast screening using mammography every 3 years. Mammography is an effective way of detecting early changes. If breast cancer is caught at an early stage there is a good chance of recovery. The local unit is staffed by an all female team. The test its self lasts 5 minutes and the total time spent in the unit is no longer than 30 minutes.
All eligible women are sent an appointment by post. If you are unable to attend the appointment given to you, you may ring the Breast Screening Service on
020 7601 8305 and arrange your own appointment at a time convenient to you. The service also provides evening and Saturday appointments.
