Bidders will be asked to provide feedback after the event. The Authority will also publish feedback and Q&A after event.

Initially mammography for all women 2. Further screening tests for a small proportion of women The additional tests are to confirm the presence of breast cancer or to reassure women that they have no sign of cancer and can be discharged back to routine screening. * The programme also offers regular screening to women under 50 who have a Very High genetic Risk (VHR) of breast cancer, either because of a family history, because they are a carrier of a gene that puts them at a high risk of breast cancer (e.g. BRCA gene), or because they are on the Breast screening After Radiotherapy Dataset (BARD) database.
