Miss Rachel Bright-Thomas

If you have noticed a breast lump or any changes to your breast, please contact Spire South Bank Hospital, Worcester on 01905 362 019 to arrange a fast‑track breast care appointment.

I have worked as a Consultant Breast Surgeon in Worcestershire since 2006, providing expert care for patients across Worcester and the surrounding areas. In my private practice, I lead a dedicated female-led specialist breast care team, offering comprehensive assessment and treatment for all breast conditions. These include breast pain, breast lumps, cysts, nipple discharge, and all aspects of breast cancer care.

I provide rapid access breast assessment in Worcester, with appointments typically available within a few days, significantly quicker than the standard NHS two‑week pathway. I am BUPA‑approved and fee‑assured, as well as recognised by most major insurers, meaning patients rarely incur excess charges.

I completed my undergraduate medical sciences degree at Cambridge University, followed by clinical training at Oxford University. I subsequently undertook 13 years of higher surgical training in London teaching hospitals before returning to the West Midlands. During this time, I completed a Master’s degree at the University of London, researching gene therapy in cancer prevention and treatment, and a prestigious National Oncoplastic Breast Fellowship.

I am fully trained in breast reconstruction, using modern oncoplastic and plastic surgical techniques to enhance both the functional and cosmetic outcomes of breast cancer surgery, offering this as part of my NHS and private practice in Worcester.

Throughout my time in Worcestershire, I have worked as a core member of the NHS multidisciplinary breast cancer team, serving as both Clinical Lead and Audit Lead. I am proud to have been twice nominated for the NHS Trust “Patient’s Choice” Staff Achievement Award, in 2015 and 2022, recognising excellence in compassionate, patient‑centred care.
