Breast screening centres in Scotland
There are 6 breast screening centres in Scotland.
You'll have your screening test at one of these centres or at a mobile screening unit.
You'll be offered an appointment at your local test centre if you:
- are female
- are between the ages of 50 and 70
- haven't had breast screening in the last 3 years
Screening is also offered to:
- non-binary people who were assigned female at birth (AFAB), and haven't had breast removal surgery
- trans women who are taking hormones
- trans men who haven't had breast removal surgery
GP practices only take part in the screening programme every 3 years, so you might not get your first screening invitation until you're 53.
