Fast diagnosis at our one-stop breast clinic
At our one-stop breast clinic you'll see an experienced consultant breast surgeon and specialist breast nurse and have diagnostic tests in the same visit. This ensures that your concerns are dealt with rapidly without having an anxious and prolonged wait for results.
At the initial assessment, your consultant will discuss your concerns and take a full medical history. They will also carry out a breast examination to decide which diagnostic tests you will have, suited to your individual needs.
