The free BreastScreen Queensland mobile service will be at Kenilworth Showgrounds from 27 – 29 February providing breast screening for women 40 years and over.
Health promotion officer Gillian Duffy said, “Research shows that, for women aged 50 to 75 years, a breast screen every two years is the best way to detect breast cancer early.”
“This means more treatment options and better outcomes. Our aim is to save lives.”
A breast screen appointment takes less than 30 minutes, and you don’t need a referral from a doctor.
“Our resolution for 2024 is to make it even easier for women to have their free breast screen,” Gillian said.
“Make it your resolution to pick up the phone, or jump online, and book that all important appointment today.”
BreastScreen Queensland also has permanent services at Noosaville, Nambour, Maroochydore and Gympie. For more information or to book an appointment call 13 20 50 or visit breastscreen.qld.gov.au
