Attending a screening appointment can be a daunting experience, so we have put together some films showing you what to expect, as well as getting some words from one of our mammographers.

We have made two videos showing you what to expect when you attend for breast screening at Castle Hill Hospital or Diana Princess of Wales Hospital.

These videos show the whole mammogram procedure, from invite to clinic to results, in full detail. Please note that these videos contain female nudity.

At the Humberside Breast Screening Service, we understand that some women can feel uncomfortable or embarrassed when attending their appointment. For this reason, we only employ female screening staff. The breast screening procedure does not last long, so when you attend your appointment you will only need to be undressed from the waist up for around 5-6 minutes. When you attend your appointment, you will only need to be undressed from the waist up for around 5 minutes. In most cases, you will only be seen undressed by one woman who specialises in breast screening.

It is very important to us that you feel comfortable throughout your screening appointment. We will do everything that we can to make sure that your privacy and dignity are respected during your visit. If you have any concerns, please speak to one of the team who will be happy to help.
