Many ladies are worried about attending their first breast screening appointment as they are unsure as to what happens during their mammogram. All mammogram x-rays are taken by a female member of staff, who guides you through the whole process, which takes less than 5 minutes.
Please attend your appointment 🌸

Dorset Breast Screening Unit was privileged to be invited to the screening of "Unseen, Unheard: The Untold Breast Cancer Stories of Black Women in the UK" at Solent University. It was a highly informative evening, featuring a panel discussion and Q&A session with survivors, healthcare professionals, and community leaders. The event also included a demonstration on how to check your breasts, conducted by one of our very own DBSU staff members.

Please attend your routine screening appointment, when invited

Mammograms aren’t one-size-fits-all. 🍋✨
Guidelines in most countries often say start at 40, but your personal risk could mean something different.
Discover your custom screening plan with the Know Your Lemons app and talk to your doctor about what’s best for you.
