Meet the breast screening team

Our breast screening service is managed by a team of consultants radiologists, pathologists, surgeons and nurses.

Our screening service is provided by a multidisciplinary team: 

• Administrators are responsible for booking your appointment, sending your invitation letter and processing your screening results 
  
• Radiographers perform your screening test, a type of x-ray known as a mammogram, and process the x-ray films 
  
• Radiologists read and interpret your mammogram results 
  
• Radiologists will assess you if the results from your mammogram are inconclusive and further tests are needed 
  
• Breast care nurses offer advice and care if you need to return for further tests after screening
