Breast Imaging

The Breast Screening Unit is located within the Manx Breast Unit in the West Wing of Noble's Hospital on the ground floor.

As long as you are registered with a doctor in the Isle of Man we will start calling you in the year you turn 50.

You will be invited for your screening by the Manchester Breast Screening Service, who are undertaking the administrative process of the Isle of Man Breast Screening call/recall programme.

Breast Screening Programme

Women aged between 50 and 70 are invited for a mammogram every two years, which uses x-rays to examine the breast to try and detect cancer at its early stages when treatment can be most effective. Women aged 71 and over can self-refer.

Breast screening can help to find small changes in the breast before there are any other signs or symptoms. If changes are found at an early stage, there is a good chance of a successful outcome.

The screening programme will get your details from your DH registration. This record is made up from your doctor's list so it is important that your doctor always has your correct name and address. If you move from the UK, or move to the UK in the future, your breast screening record will transfer to your new area.

Symptomatic Breast Clinic

In addition to the Breast Screening Programme, we offer a symptomatic mammography service whereby patients are referred from the Breast Clinic at Noble's Hospital.
