South Australian women can now book their breast screen online through BreastScreen SA's website.
Online bookings can be made at all 11 BreastScreen SA clinics, including the 8 fixed screening clinics and 3 mobile screening units.
Women can now book their appointment quickly, conveniently and at any time of the day, instead of being limited to calling during business hours. Online bookings take as little as five minutes and can be made from a computer or even mobile phone while on the go.
This follows the rollout last month of more detailed breast screening reporting at all BreastScreen SA clinics, to now include specific information about an individual’s breast density.
BreastScreen SA Program Director, Niamh Wade said the platform has been two years in the making and is the largest step in increasing access to the program since the mobile screening units hit the road in 1991.
"It is an exciting improvement that our clients have been asking for, and one that will transform the way they can book in with us for their breast screen," Ms Wade said.
"Most women will be able to book an appointment online, but if you prefer to speak with us, you can call us on 13 20 50."
