Information about our Breast Unit assessment clinics

We consider a visit to this clinic to be the second stage of the screening process.

It is sometimes necessary to perform further examinations, before a final result can be given. However, the majority of women who come to the assessment clinic can be reassured that nothing further needs to be done.

During your visit, the radiographer will explain the reason for your return, ask you some further questions regarding your relevant history and explain what happens next.

If you would like to bring someone with you please feel free to do so.
