Screening
Do I need this screening?
Will I be
invited?
Abdominal
aortic
aneurysm
(AAA)
screening
The NHS AAA Screening Programme
only invites for screening individuals
registered as male.
However, any gender diverse person
assigned male at birth will have the
same risk as a cis-man and should
consider accessing screening.
Individuals registered as male are
invited for an ultrasound scan to
check the size of their abdominal
aorta when they are 65.
If you are
age 65
and
registered
as male on
GP
records.
Bowel
Both men and women are routinely
invited for screening.
Bowel scope screening is offered
once at the age of 55. Then, from the
ages of 60 to 74, an at-home test kit
is offered every 2 years.
