Mrs Jigs (Luverlylegs) 4 Jan 9:02pm, 4 Jan 2025 48,734 posts	0 Mrs Jigs (Luverlylegs) NHS website re breast screening states: be invited for NHS breast screening every 3 years between the ages of 50 and 71. You'll get a letter in the post inviting you. When you'll be invited You'll automatically get your first invite for breast screening between the ages of 50 and 53. Then you'll be invited every 3 years until you turn 71.

MsG 4 Jan 9:42pm, 4 Jan 2025 2,735 posts	0 MsG In theory Mrs Jigs then you should have been called at 69 y/o. Did you move house since the last one and if so, have you re-registered with a GP? The screening database is based on being registered with a GP practice. If you have been registered with a GP the whole time, then I suggest contacting your practice as your recall may have been altered by practice staff on the prior notification list. I am also unsure how Covid may have affected the screening rounds (as it may have been different to cervical)
Mrs Jigs (Luverlylegs) 4 Jan 9:46pm, 4 Jan 2025 48,735 posts	0 Mrs Jigs (Luverlylegs) No, not moved MsG, last time I had a screening was during 2020, as it happens I have spoken to my GP recently and am awaiting another screen appointment

MsG 4 Jan 9:51pm, 4 Jan 2025 2,737 posts	0 MsG X-post that's good 😊 I have a suspicion that some areas may have extended recall rounds due to COVID (but that's a vague recollection). My advice to anyone who thinks they're overdue for screening is to ask their recall status. Anyone who's been a non-responder will likely have their recall date reset but there's a non-responder flag so the guidelines are to book an appointment if overdue (cervical)..
