The Barking, Havering, Redbridge and Brentwood Screening Service invites over 25,000 women per year for screening. Screening is organised according to where you live. Once every three years all the women between the ages of 50 and 70 in your area will be routinely invited.

Not every woman will receive an appointment as soon as she is 50. You will receive your first appointment before your 53rd birthday and therefore there is no need to contact us for an appointment.

• My area is not listed what shall I do?

  If it has been more than three years since your last screening appointment and your area is not listed below then please contact us as soon as possible.

  If it has been less than three years since your last appointment and your practice is not listed below there is no need to contact us at this time and we encourage you to keep checking the table below as the information provided is regularly updated.




• My area is listed what shall I do?

  We will contact you about 3 weeks before your screening is due with your appointment and there is therefore no need to contact us at this time.

Women over the age of 70 are encouraged to continue with breast screening but must contact the screening office once every three years for an appointment.
