- We have reduced the number of women booked into a clinic
- Social distancing is maintained
- Clinical team to wear the correct PPE whilst undertaking the screening procedure
- Women to wear masks at all times during their appointment
- Equipment cleaned down after every appointment
- Temperature checks at some locations
- Unfortunately, you may be offered an appointment at different location to your previous screening
