When to book something else

Breast screening, mammogram and gynaecology

Choose the service that matches your immediate question: genetic testing, breast imaging or a gynaecology assessment.

Genetic testing, breast imaging or gynaecology

  • Breast cancer screening: broader screening tiers and imaging packages, including the £662 BRCA panel.
  • Mammogram: standalone breast imaging when that is what you need.
  • Gynaecology: general gynaecological assessment and symptoms such as pelvic pain or abnormal bleeding.

A new breast lump needs clinical assessment rather than a genetic-testing enquiry, so call the clinic for the correct appointment. If you have severe bleeding or feel acutely unwell, seek urgent NHS care.
