- Results delivered on the day
- Dedicated clinical support
Why screen for breast cancer?
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in the UK. Around 1 in 7 women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime. The sooner breast cancer is diagnosed, the more effective treatment is likely to be.
What is a mammogram?
A mammogram uses low-dose X-rays to create detailed images of the breast tissue. The images can show changes that are too small to feel. Two X-ray images are taken of each breast from different angles.
During the X-ray, your breast is gently compressed between two plates. This creates clearer images and reduces the amount of radiation needed. The compression lasts only 10–20 seconds per image and, while uncomfortable, it shouldn’t cause lasting pain.
How it works
1. Book your appointment — choose a clinic and time that works for you
2. Attend your scan — the appointment takes about 30 minutes
3. Get your results — delivered in person, on the day of your appointment
This test is currently only available to members based in the UK.
What your results mean
Normal result: No signs of cancer found. Continue with regular self-examination and book your next screening in 12 months.
Unclear result: The images weren’t clear enough or needed a closer look. You’ll be invited back for additional mammogram images. This is common and doesn’t necessarily indicate cancer.
Abnormal result: Something unusual was seen that needs investigation. You’ll be invited to an assessment clinic for further tests. The majority of people recalled do not have breast cancer.
