Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Screening (AAA Screening)
Free NHS Screening Service for men aged 65yrs and older.
Men often have no symptoms of an AAA until it ruptures. By screening we can identify men with an aneurysm and manage their care. Screening is carried out locally (in most GP Practices), it takes just 10 minutes and can be lifesaving.
For further information please contact your local screening programme or you can read about the service on NHS Choices www.nhs.uk/aaa
