Miss Deepika Akolekar
Consultant Breast and Oncoplastic surgeon
FRCS, MD
Specialises in
I am a Consultant Breast and Oncoplastic Surgeon and my NHS practice is based at Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust. I specialise in the management of benign breast conditions and breast cancer. I work with an excellent team of Radiologists, Pathologists, Oncologists and Breast Clinical Nurse Specialists offering a rapid access One Stop clinic for the assessment of breast concerns.
I am fully trained in advanced breast conservation and breast reconstruction. As a female breast surgeon, I am passionate about conserving the breast whenever possible and using plastic surgical techniques to ensure that women undergoing breast surgery have good aesthetic outcomes.
I undertook my higher surgical training with the South-East Scotland rotation. I trained at the Edinburgh Breast Unit at Western General Hospital and subsequently continued my training in Breast Surgery at South East London and Kent Hospitals. On completion of my higher specialist surgical training, I was selected for the National Oncoplastic and Reconstructive Fellowship at the Royal Surrey County Hospital, Guilford and Queen Victoria Hospital at East Grinstead.
