The Scottish Breast Screening Programme (SBSP) invites women in the Western Isles for routine screening every 3 years who are elligible and aged between 50-70. Women over 70 can still be screened by self-referring themselves to their local breast screening unit. A leaflet entitled ‘Breast Screening: What you need to know’ has been produced and to view/download, please click here.
