Breast screening in the countryside

Book a breast screening appointment

The next available screening appointments in Reykjavík are in February 2027.

If you have received an invitation letter for breast screening, you can book an appointment in the following ways:

Please note that everyone is welcome to attend screening at the Breast Center in Reykjavík and in Akureyri, regardless of where they live.

Breast screening is intended for women who do not have any breast symptoms. If you have noticed any changes or symptoms in your breasts, we recommend contacting your primary healthcare centre by calling 1700. If you are registered with a private healthcare centre (Kirkjusandur, Höfði, Urðarhvarf or Salahverfi), please contact your centre directly. Nurses will assess your symptoms and determine whether you need an urgent appointment with a doctor. If the assessment indicates that further investigations are needed, a referral will be sent to the Breast Centre at Landspítali.
