Thank you everybody & Goodnight!😀

Yes definately Kerry we should have posters and leaflets so we can ATLEAST direct the clients

Public health messages could include info about smears, i have been asked many times regarding frequency of cervical smears and who to contact? Any of the other breastscreening staff bbeen asked?

Can mammographers predict which clients would prefer a chat or non chat?

Obviously the chatter would have to be incorporated in to the art of positioning!!😁

The chatter could include health messages Public Health?…what are your thoughts?

Questionnaire many clients will forget!

Different centres work slightly differently, some interview the clients prior to the mammogram in a seperate room whilst others have questionnaires sent with the invite and some explain the procedure in the xray room with the client covered.

Personally all have the different approaches have advantages and disadvantages.

Posting online with your name and profession is a good idea if trust policies allow you to do this. What do others think?

I find that more time is required for non screening patients/Clients..may be just a gentle touch on the shoulder or arm to relax the patient works wonders!💖 And possibly reassures the patient/client

Yes definately Geraldine professionalism is important and a great way is to break barrier between the client and the Mammographer is to introduce yourself with a smile ofcourse and this usually relaxes the client ready for the mammogram

Thats is good. The assertiveness is due to the very precise way we like to see the breast images. We have to think about the nipple, the pec, lateral medial borders and many more all within 6 mins!

Just making sure everybody can hear me!!😀😀

Did the assertive manner make you feel nervous? Tense?
