The Greater Manchester Breast Screening Programme
The Greater Manchester Breast Screening Programme (GMBSP) is part of the National Breast Screening Programme (NHSBSP) and is one of the largest screening breast screening services in England. GMBSP provides a free breast screening service for well women aged between 50 and 70, resident in Greater Manchester.
We aim to provide and promote an efficient and effective, high quality breast screening service, to all eligible women within a caring environment.
Breast screening aims to find breast cancer at an early stage, often before there are any symptoms. To do this, an x-ray is taken of each breast (mammogram). Early detection may often mean simpler and more successful treatment.
