Consultant Breast Radiologist

The Breast Unit encompasses the Portsmouth Breast Screening Programme and the local symptomatic breast service. The Screening Programme invites 85,000 women from Portsmouth and the surrounding area each round and diagnoses approximately 300 new breast cancers a year. Women considered to be at high risk of breast cancer were adopted by the Portsmouth NHS BSP in January 2015. This service and the surveillance of women at moderately increased risk of breast cancer are supported by our excellent links with the local Genetics Service via our Advanced Nurse Practitioner.
