The Big Bus provides two services:

• If you are a woman aged 40-49 or 70+, you haven’t had a mammogram in the last 2 years, been pregnant or breast-feeding in the last 6 months and have no specific breast concerns, you are eligible to make an appointment for Breast Screening on the BIG BUS. The charity is the only place in Northern Ireland for women outside of the NHS screening age range to avail of a breast screening for free, so this is a great opportunity. The screening takes only a few minutes and, for the majority of women, provides peace of mind

• MOT Health Checks are open to anyone aged 16+ and are a great way to get a current picture of your health. The check takes about 20 minutes and you will receive a variety of tests, such as blood pressure and cholesterol. You will also stand on the body composition scales to receive a print out of details such as muscle mass, hydration levels, fat around your organs, and BMI. The Health Improvement Officer carrying out your assessment will be able to provide advice and information about lifestyle improvements which can contribute to cancer prevention.

Call Action Cancer on 028 9080 3344, Option 5 (Monday – Friday 9am – 4.45pm) or visit appointments.actioncancer.org to make your appointment for either service.
