Screening Saves Lives 🎀

A mammogram only takes 3-5 minutes and can detect cancer before it is seen or felt.

Please attend your appointment when invited, or rearrange when suitable for yourself by calling 01752 431652.

Breast Screening 🎀

Did you know most women with breast cancer do not have a family history of the disease? It’s really important to get checked. Between ages 50-71 you’ll be invited for breast screening every 3 years. Around 4 out of 5 breast cancers are found in women aged over 50. Please make sure you attend.

What a busy day at Devon Chamber of Commerce Business Event!

It was a pleasure to be part of such a well-organised and informative day filled with networking, collaboration, and meaningful conversations.

We were proud to help raise awareness of breast cancer during this important awareness month — reminding every one of the importance of early detection and regular screening. 💗

Our first podcast, we met Father Christmas, had a hand massage and ran out of merch ! How many events can you say that about 😂
