North East Scotland Mobile Breast Screening Unit - Fraserburgh 2025

The North East Scotland Mobile Breast Screening Service will commence screening in Fraserburgh on Wednesday 30th July 2025 for approximately 10 weeks. The Mobile Unit will be sited in the car park at Fraserburgh Hospital, Lochpots Road, Fraserburgh, AB43 9NH.

Women aged 50-70 years of age who are registered with a General Practitioner at Finlayson Street Practice, Saltoun Surgery, Crimond Medical Centre and Central Buchan Medical Practice will receive an invitation to attend. The letters are sent out 4 weeks before their appointment date. Women aged 71 years and over are not sent an invitation, however, they can make their own appointment by contacting the Screening Centre (01224 550570).

Mrs Sarah Philip, Manager for the Breast Screening Service said “The aim of the programme is to detect breast changes at an early stage when treatment has the best chance of being successful. We hope that women invited for the first time will take advantage of their invitation for mammography and for women who have been screened previously, it is important to attend to ensure that there have been no changes over the past three years. The risk of developing breast cancer increases as you get older, so if any woman missed or failed to attend their previous invitation, it is still important to come along for screening this time.”
