Transgender Women

If you are a trans woman aged 65 or older, you are still at higher risk of having an AAA and are eligible for AAA screening.

If you’ve changed your CHI number to reflect your female gender on or before 14 June 2015, you should contact your local AAA screening centre for a self-referral call 01698 754 388

Transgender Men

You are less likely to have an AAA if you are a transgender man aged 65.

If you have changed your CHI number, you will be automatically invited and can choose whether you would like to attend.
