breast-screening
Calastica breast screening education sessions focus on early detection education and are conducted by general practitioners experienced in working in this area. Each session takes 15 minutes and includes:
- A history of the patient relating to risk factors for breast cancer
- A demonstration to the participant how to carry out self breast examination (SBE).This includes examination of their breasts standing up and lying down
- The participant will also be given an opportunity to demonstrate what they have learnt and will be guided if need be (this is optional)
- A GP referral can be provided if a breast screen is undertaken at the appointment and further investigation is required
