Information on symptoms and screening programmes.
Regular breast screening can help detect breast cancer at an early stage, often before symptoms develop, when treatment is most effective. In Ireland, the BreastCheck programme provides free breast screening for eligible women and is an important part of protecting long-term health.
This page brings together trusted information from the HSE on breast screening, including who is eligible, what to expect at your appointment, and how to access the service. Whether you’re due your next screening or simply want to learn more, taking up your screening invitation is a positive step towards looking after your health.
