Mammogram Services at Selected Locations
As part of our commitment to supporting your health and wellbeing, mammograms are available at selected hospital locations. We recommend contacting the health assessment booking team to confirm where this service is offered. Please note that in most cases mammograms are booked as a separate appointment and may be held at a different Nuffield Health location to your health assessment.

  If you are a female colleague over the age of 40 you might want to consider having a mammogram as part of your health assessment. You should read the information on the Nuffield Health website http://www.nuffieldhealth.com/treatments/breast-screening-and-awareness to decide if mammography is for you. Please consider the harms as well as the benefits when making your decision. Breast screening with mammography can save lives by finding cancers early but can also cause anxiety and unnecessary treatment in some women. Your health assessment doctor can discuss this with you.

  No, free Health Assessments are limited to directly employed staff on a Nuffield Health contract of employment.
