Avon Breast Screening and Sexual Health Clinic

The Avon Breast Screening programme invites more than 180,000 women from the area for breast screening. The service is co-ordinated through the Avon Breast Screening Unit which is situated within the Bristol Breast Care Centre at Southmead Hospital.  Screening facilities are available on site, at a static unit located at Tower Hill in Bristol and in the community via mobile screening units.  These units move around the region and are located at various sites for a period of time during the three year screening cycle.

Breast Screening is available for all eligible women registered with a GP and living on Bristol, North Somerset, South Gloucestershire or Bath and North East Somerset and includes those in the Mendip area of Somerset.  Women eligible for screening will be sent a personal invitation offering a screening appointment.
