How to prepare for your breast screen
Ensure you know the address of your screening location, including parking and public transport options.
Wear a two-piece outfit (you’ll need to remove your clothes from the waist up).
Let us know in advance if you have breast implants, a pacemaker, if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have mobility or language needs.
Please note children of any age are unable to be left unaccompanied in reception or accompany you into the x-ray room.
Do not use powder, deodorant or creams on your body on the day of your breast screen as they can affect your x-ray.
