Screening Services

The NHS now undertakes a number of screening services for serious illnesses. This includes breast cancer screening for ladies over 50 years old, Aortic Aneurism screening for men over 65 years old and bowel cancer screening for men and women over 60 years of age. These are organised centrally in England and those who are eligible will be sent an invitation by post. The tests may be done at home (bowel cancer screening), may take place in the practice, or at other locations around Swindon.
