AAA Screening

An image of text for NHS screening 65+ men

AAA Screening – quick, painless, life-saving NHS screening test available to all men over 65.

A simple scan can tell you if you have an abdominal aortic aneurysm.

This is an enlargement of the main blood vessel in the abdomen and if left untreated it can be fatal.

Men aged 65+ are most at risk.

NHS screening invitations will be sent to those over 65 this year and those over 65 can request a scan.

For more information please visit Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) screening – NHS or talk to your GP.
