Personalised, patient-centred breast care
For us, it’s critical our patients remain at the centre of the care, and that the care delivered is completely individualised. From the moment a patient arrives with us we are by their side, fully supported by a Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS). We can offer same-day appointments Monday to Friday from 9am until 5pm, with some evening appointments also available.
The unit, located at The Wellington Hospital in St John’s Wood, is home to a One-Stop Breast Clinic, a rapid access, consultant-led service, where a patient’s breast concerns can be investigated using the very latest digital mammography, clinically appropriate imaging can be undertaken and results can be given, in a single visit. Open since 2011, we have established a reputation for providing a consistently high standard of care that requires a relentless focus on quality, expertise and support for patients whatever the outcome.
Our strength lies within the excellence of our clinical teams; we have an exceptional team of consultants, nursing and therapy staff whose skills and experience enable us to care for all breast care needs.
A comprehensive, one-stop breast service

Medical history and clinical breast examination
To start, your consultant will talk to you about your medical and family history before examining your breasts and lymph glands.

Mammogram or ultrasound or both
Next, you'll have a mammogram or ultrasound scan (or both) by specialist radiographers so your consultant can get a clear, detailed picture of your breast tissue. In most cases the results can be given on the same day.

Image guided biopsy (if needed)
If your consultant wants to investigate further, they do a biopsy. For your peace of mind, we see you again two to three days after your assessment to talk you through your results. If it's not the result you were hoping for, your consultant acts quickly to create a treatment plan for you.
