Please see attached and below details of the free NHS Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm screening programme and information about the condition.

Calling all men of the North East

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms (AAA) are a weakening in the aorta (the main artery in your body) that can swell and rupture causing fatal internal bleeding. They usually don’t have symptoms and are most common in men aged over 65.

AAA screening is a free NHS national programme that invites men in the year they turn 65, to attend a quick and painless 10 minute ultrasound scan.

You will receive your invitation through the post when you’re eligible. Please DON’T ignore it. It could save your life!

If you need to rearrange your appointment give us a call on: 0191 445 8747
