The Island's breast consultant is 'going public' today in a first for Noble's Hospital.
Mille Bello and her team of specialist nurses will swap the consulting room for an empty shop unit in Onchan, to promote the message: breast screening saves lives.
The breast care team will take over a unit at Village Walk between 10am and 3pm today (18 October) to offer members of the public on-the-spot advice and information.
They want to encourage Island women to attend their breast screening appointments, offered every two years between the ages of 50 and 70.
Julie Stokes from the Manx Breast Cancer Support Group says it's a rare opportunity to meet the consultant on a drop-in basis:
