BreastCheck located one of their mobile screening units in Sligo Town (at Sligo Rovers football ground) from July 2018. This mobile unit recently finished screening in Sligo, having invited all eligible women in the area to attend for a free mammogram during the scheduled screening round.
I would like to reassure women that BreastCheck is not withdrawing any services in Sligo and will return to the area in approximately 12 months time to invite women who are due breast screening to attend as part of the next screening round.
If any woman is unable to attend their screening appointment during the time the mobile unit is located in their area, they are offered an opportunity to attend for a mammogram in the nearest screening location to them. They may opt to do this rather than wait until the mobile unit returns to their area in the next screening round. This allows them to receive a mammogram as close as possible to the time they were scheduled to attend for breast screening.
