Biggar Medical Practice breast screening location change

Oct 12, 2020

Breast Screening Unit

The breast screening mobile unit will be screening women registered with the Biggar Medical Practice from Friday 9 October 2020 until December 2020.

Unfortunately, due to some practical issues, it has not been possible to find a suitable location in Biggar for the mobile screening unit this year.

The unit will now be located in the car park at South Lanarkshire Lifestyles Leisure Centre in Lanark.

Dr Tasmin Sommerfield, Consultant in Public Health Medicine, said: “NHS Lanarkshire and the West of Scotland Breast Screening Centre would like to apologise for the inconvenience this will cause.

“We try hard to keep screening local to our clients but this is not always possible.

“If would like to re-arrange the date, time or location of your appointment please call the West of Scotland Breast Screening Centre on 0141 800 8800.”
