A mobile breast screening service will be in Alford for four weeks from next month.
The mobile unit will be located at the medical practice on Gordon Road.
Women aged 50-70 years of age who are registered with a GP at Alford Medical Practice and Strathdon Medical Centre will receive an invitation to attend.
The letters are sent out three weeks before their appointment date.
Women aged 71 years and over are not sent an invitation, however, they are encouraged to make their own appointment by contacting the screening centre on 01224 550570.
Elspeth Hay, service manager, said “The aim of the programme is to detect breast changes at an early stage when treatment has the best chance of being successful.
“We hope that women invited for the first time will take advantage of their invitation for mammography and for women who have been screened previously, it is important to attend to ensure that there have been no changes over the past three years.
“The risk of developing breast cancer increases as you get older, so if any woman missed or failed to attend their previous invitation, it is still important to come along for screening this time.”
The unit will be there from September 10 until October 10.
