Enhanced Breast Screening (Mammogram)

We understand that going for a mammogram can be a daunting and uncomfortable experience. That’s why we’ve taken great care to ensure you feel at ease every step of the way.

Located in central London, our clinic is easily accessible. Here, we have created a relaxing environment purpose-built with your needs in mind. Every 3d screening mammogram appointment has 30 minutes allocated, meaning that your examination won’t feel rushed or stressful. You will also have the opportunity to ask as many questions as you wish.

Our lead mammographer has over 30 years of experience and, working with our team of radiologists, will develop clear images to spot any slight abnormalities. Offering a calm and friendly demeanour, she ensures everyone in her care feels as relaxed and looked after as possible.

We make sure to always have a radiologist in the centre each day, ensuring your mammogram results are not only assessed immediately but also provided to you at the end of your appointment. We can then advise whether any further testing is required.

At OneWelbeck we use cutting-edge technology to create better images than a standard mammogram. By using digital mammography, our radiographers ensure that breast radiologists receive as much information as possible to make an accurate assessment.

Using the power of artificial intelligence, we can further enhance the level of interpretation and analysis of the images produced by a digital mammogram. We use a system called ProFound AI® Solutions for this, which compares your mammography images against those it has previously learned from. This acts as another pair of eyes for our doctors, helping them identify subtle lesions that may be hard to detect with the naked eye.

Our technology also enables us to assess breast density by using a breast density assessment software called Quantra. Dense breasts can lead to an increased risk of breast cancer, as well as making abnormalities harder to identify on a mammogram image. This technology allows us to determine whether a follow-up ultrasound is needed.

If your standard screening mammogram shows any abnormalities, you have various options in terms of your follow-up care.

If you choose to have further investigations at OneWelbeck, which could include biopsies, scans and minor procedures, we will be there to support you each step of the way so you can make the right decisions for your breast health.

We will be completely transparent about our competitive pricing to help you understand the costs involved.

If you have private health insurance, we are covered by all major private medical insurers in the UK, who will typically offer cover from the point at which abnormalities are found on a mammogram.

Alternatively, we can support your pathway with the NHS, by providing you with your full report and transferring your images to your chosen NHS breast clinic. We will then continue to monitor your progress to ensure you do not become lost in the system and double-check whether you received the necessary follow-up appointments our radiologist recommended.

This means, in order to complement the national screening programme, you may still receive NHS mammogram appointments every three years while also attending yearly mammograms with us at OneWelbeck.

Booking your screening appointment at OneWelbeck is simple – visit our booking portal to book your private screening today. Alternatively, you can call us on 020 3653 2008, or email our team at bookings.womenshealth@onewelbeck.com.

Please note we can only offer private mammograms for patients who are currently not showing any breast cancer symptoms. If you have found a lump or any other concerning symptoms in your breast, it is advised to contact your GP or your private health insurer as soon as possible.
