What to expect
After you ask for a review we will get in touch with you to let you know if you are eligible.
We aim to complete your review within 3 months.
Before your review starts
If you are eligible for a review we will:
- ask you to confirm your identity - to make sure we protect the privacy of people who use our services
- give you details for your point of contact - this someone you can contact at any stage during the review
Medical records
We may need to access your medical records to do the review. Hospitals hold your medical records. These are different to your BreastCheck records. We ask for your consent to access them.
If your medical records show a reason why we cannot do a review, we will tell you why.
How we use your personal information
Your review
2 consultant radiologists (breast x-ray specialists) who were not involved in your breast screening will do the review.
They will look at your BreastCheck mammogram. They will assess if the screening was satisfactory or not.
Your review results
We will contact you about the results of your review and send you a copy of your review report.
