NCA Breast Pathway Board

The Pathway Board brings together healthcare professionals, clinical leaders, and multi-agency representatives to enhance patient outcomes, ensure service quality, and promote equitable care across the region.

Breast cancer services in the North of Scotland

Breast cancer is the most common cancer for women in Scotland with approximately 1,200 patients diagnosed in the North each year.

In the North, Breast cancer services are managed in our three cancer centres in Aberdeen, Dundee and Inverness.

The aim of this Pathway Board is to facilitate regional working between the centres, ensuring a focus on improving patient outcomes.

For more information on the symptoms, investigation and treatment of Breast cancer, please visit the NHS Inform website. Information on the Scottish breast cancer screening programme can also be found on the NHS Inform website.
