BreastScreen NSW is now taking calls and preparing to resume screening from 18 May 2020.
Screening will resume at the Tweed Heads, Lismore, Coffs Harbour and Port Macquarie centres, and via the mobile van in Bowraville.
BreastScreen NSW has advised that women who had their appointments cancelled will be prioritised and contacted directly, as soon as possible, to reschedule their appointment. Please encourage patients with cancelled appointments to wait for their invitation to screen before contacting BreastScreen NSW.
BreastScreen NSW is taking all necessary steps to ensure the safety and wellbeing of clients and staff during this time, and is not anticipating any disruption to the screening pathway.
Importantly, BreastScreen NSW recommends:
- Women who develop breast symptoms should speak with their GP without delay.
- Symptomatic women should be referred to a specialist clinic or breast surgeon.
