Welcome
Many women develop concerns about their breasts, ranging from mild discomfort to finding a lump. This is often an anxious and worrying time.
For those with a new breast symptom, we offer a rapid ‘one-stop’ diagnostic service with instant access to mammography and ultrasound examination.
Other women may be concerned about their family history of breast cancer or want to know about the lifestyle factors that can contribute to breast cancer risk.
We provide a full risk-assessment with advice on whether testing for breast cancer related gene mutations is helpful, as well as practical ways to tackle the challenges of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. In addition, we offer guidance and information about breast cancer screening.
