A MOBILE breast screening unit has come to Melksham and is taking appointments for women aged between 50-70 years old.
The unit is located in the Melksham Community Hospital car park and will be there until 1st March.
Wiltshire Council is urging people to book an appointment as a third of breast cancers are diagnosed through screening and early detection improves your survival rate.
All women aged 50 to 70 are entitled to a screening every three years. If you are over 70 you are still at risk of breast cancer and can also attend.
Call 01793604036 or for more details speak to your GP surgery or visit www.cancerscreening.nhs.uk
