Female tests

Breast check Hide

What is it?

A breast check is a physical and visual examination of the breasts.

Why do we do this?

According to Cancer Research UK, breast cancer accounts for nearly 30 percent of all cancers. Deviations from normal do not necessarily indicate breast disease. All abnormalities must be followed up either with a repeat check or with a referral to a specialist breast clinic.

Breast awareness instruction Hide

What is it?

Instruction on self-examination and general awareness of breast appearance and texture.

Why do we do this?

Regular examination can ensure early detection of abnormal changes in breast tissue.

Mammography Hide

What is it?

A mammogram is an X-ray of the breasts.

Why do we do this?

It is the most effective means of detecting and investigating breast disease. It can detect a change in breast tissue before you can feel anything unusual yourself. NHS screening programmes offer mammography to all women over 50. There is clinically evidence that mammograms from the age of 40 are valuable in detecting early breast cancer. Bupa Wellness offer mammography to all women over 40 (there may be an additional charge).

We recommend women aged 40 to 50 have mammograms on an annual basis, and those over 50 have mammograms every other year.

What does the test involve?

It involves having both breasts X-rayed.

Please note that an additional cost applies to add a mammogram to your standard health assessment.

Availability of tests

Due to the prevalence of some diseases on older people some tests are only offered to individuals of a certain age or gender or if clinically indicated (click on the test to see if restrictions apply). For medical reasons, some tests may occasionally be omitted and this will be explained on the day.
