🔶South West of Scotland Breast Screening Service🔶

Every 3 years the Breast Screening Service provides routine screening for women aged 50-70 years.

Patients registered with Barns in this group will be invited to attend for routine breast screening at the mobile breast screening unit from -

🔸24 September 2025 at

🔸 Sainsburys Superstore, 125 Prestwick Road, Ayr

If you are in this age group, you will receive a postal invitation.

You can also request an appointment yourself if you are 🔸over 70 years 🔸or did not receive an invitation, by contacting the Breast Screening Service.

‼️ In a change to previous rounds of screening, women who were unable to attend their last appointment will be sent a letter asking them to contact the breast screening service should they wish to make an appointment at a time that suits them. ‼️

If you require additional support to attend your appointment, such as for mobility reasons, or have other specific needs (e.g., breast implants, pacemakers), please inform the screening service when you book your appointment.
