Breast cancer now affects 1 in every 9 women in the UK,* so it is likely that you may already have experienced supporting an employee through diagnosis and treatment. As London’s leading private hospital network and the largest private cancer network outside the NHS, HCA work with many companies to provide a range of diagnostic and treatment options for their female employees (and spouses).

The following screening programme is designed for women over the age of 40 years.

Patients receive a breast care awareness pack
A specially qualified radiographer conducts a digital
mammogram which will provide a detailed image of
the breast tissue
A written report is prepared and sent to the patient’s GP,
this will normally be within 10 days. The GP will make contact
with the patient in the event that any follow-up is required

To discuss screening for your workforce please call the HCA Commercial Team on 020 7616 4848, please note employees must have a request form from their GPs before they have a breast screening.

Appointments can be booked at short notice, sometimes for the following day and some clinics are held during the evenings. For details of clinics, times and to make an appointment, employees simply call the HCA Platinum Choice helpline on 020 7079 4355.
