The North London Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Screening (AAA) Programme
invites all men in North London for free screening during the year they turn 65 and is now delivered on behalf of the NHS by InHealth, at a number of convenient locations across North West, North Central and North East London.
What is an aneurysm?It is an enlargement of the main blood vessel in the abdomen. By using a simple Ultrasound, screening finds aneurysms early so they can be monitored or treated.
