In the UK NHS Breast Screening Programme, a “previous non-attendance” (PNA) letter is typically sent to encourage women who missed their last screening appointment to attend the next one.

Key points about this letter:

Purpose: To remind and reassure the person that screening is still available and important, even if they didn’t attend before.

Acknowledgement that the person did not attend their last appointment.

Information about why breast screening matters.

Contact details for queries or accessibility needs.

There are many reasons why women may have missed their last breast screening.

The letter is meant as supportive, and non-judgemental, emphasising the benefits of early detection.😄

Lovely comments.

It is advised not to contact the routine breast screening centre if you have symptoms. Instead, you should visit your GP straight away. If you notice any signs or symptoms of breast cancer, even if you have recently had a clear breast screening, do not wait for an invite. Your GP can refer you to a breast clinic for further tests. Routine breast screening is not intended to replace the importance of regular self-examinations and breast awareness.

🎉 Make Breast Health Your New Year’s Resolution 🎉

As we step into a new year, let’s make our health a priority 💗 Get into the habit of checking your breasts regularly so you know what’s normal for you. If you notice any changes, don’t wait – contact your GP.

If you’re invited to a breast screening appointment, make it part of your resolution to attend. Screening can detect breast cancer early, often before symptoms appear, and early detection can save lives.

This year, take time for yourself. ✔️
Check your breasts ✔️
Attend screening appointments ✔️
Encourage the women you care about to do the same 🩷

A small resolution could make a life-saving difference. 🩷

When you get your screening appointment will depend on the GP practice you're registered with. Don't worry if your appointment doesn't arrive as soon as you turn 50. Each GP practice takes part in the screening programme every three years so you may not receive your first invitation until you're nearly 53.
