BREASTCHECK OFFERING ROSCOMMON WOMEN SECOND CHANCE FOR SCREENING
- 10 May 2010
BreastCheck – The National Breast Screening Programme is currently offering women living in Co Roscommon free breast mammograms and wishes to advise women who could not attend their first appointment that they will receive a second appointment by post in the coming weeks.
BreastCheck is offering women free mammograms at a mobile digital screening unit located in the grounds of Roscommon County Hospital, Athlone Road, Roscommon.
BreastCheck urges every woman who receives an appointment to attend for her free mammogram. Any woman who receives an appointment for a time or date that doesn’t suit can easily rearrange it by calling the BreastCheck Western Unit on (091) 580 600.
BreastCheck advises all women aged 50 to 64 to make sure their name is on the BreastCheck register by calling Freephone 1800 45 45 55 or checking online at www.breastcheck.ie.
Once on the register and known to the programme, a woman will automatically receive her invitation for a mammogram when BreastCheck is screening in her area.
If a woman is not on the BreastCheck register, there are two simple ways to have her details added. She can either register herself online in the ‘self search and register online’ section of www.breastcheck.ie or there are self registration forms available from BreastCheck that can be completed and returned by Freepost. These forms are available on request by calling the BreastCheck information line on Freephone 1800 45 45 55.
