Advice issued on breast screening in Carmarthenshire
Carmarthenshire 50+ Forum is encouraging older women to go for breast screening.
More than 2,000 women are being offered a free, potentially life-saving screening test with the return of Breast Test Wales to St Clears.
The NHS service has brought its mobile screening unit to the area. Sited at Pentre Road Car Park (Pay and Display), the unit will offer free, high-quality breast screening by invitation only, to women aged 50 and above who are registered with local GP surgeries until the end of June.
All women aged between 50 and 70 should automatically receive a postal invitation if they are registered with the following GP surgeries: Coach & Horses Surgery, St Clears and Meddygfa Taf, Whitland.
Women aged over 70 will not receive an automatic invitation, but can be screened on request by telephoning Breast Test Wales on 01792 459988 to make an appointment.
Carmarthenshire 50+ development officer Kevin Pett said: “We would encourage women to accept their invitation for an appointment at the mobile screening clinic.”
