Breast Care Unit
Further Information
Our Breast Care Appeal will support a transformation of our dedicated Breast Unit where patients receive breast care. Patients are seen by our specialist doctors, nurses and radiology team for consultations, imaging assessment and biopsies.
Around 7,381 patients are seen annually in the unit with a variety of symptoms, including breast lumps, nipple changes and lumps in the armpit. This equates to around 142 patients per week and, of those, an average of around 250 breast cancer patients are treated annually. Ongoing appointments such as with Breast Care Nurses, prosthetic expert and doctors take place within this unit.
We envision a healing space where sensitivity is at the heart of every detail. Imagine stepping into a serene waiting area, surrounded by calming scenes from nature. Comfortable seating will be arranged in small clusters, creating a welcoming environment where patients can feel at ease, even in their most vulnerable moments. Privacy and dignity will be thoughtfully maintained. Our design will seamlessly blend art and functionality – with floor-to-ceiling nature prints, artistic ceiling tiles, and custom window films – transforming the entire space into a place of calm and support.
Your donation can help bring this vision to life, offering comfort and care when it’s needed most.
