BreastCheck - The National Breast Screening Programme, aims to reduce the number of deaths from breast cancer in Ireland amongst women aged 50 - 64.
Provide an effective screening service to the highest possible quality, so that the maximum number of breast cancers can be detected at the earliest possible stage.
Protect the dignity and privacy of women, provide women with a choice and involvement in their own care; deliver a high quality programme dedicated to excellence and meeting the highest international clinical standards; be women centred, accessible and free of charge.
BreastCheck works with a team approach to the screening of women including mammography, diagnosis and treatment. It works in partnership with other healthcare providers. BreastCheck values the contribution and skill of its staff; it provides continuous training and development for staff and upgrading of equipment required in a screening programme.
