Please note that this service is not available for patients under the age of 18.
What to expect from your consultation
One of our clinic nurses will accompany you to your consultation, where your Consultant will discuss your symptoms and examine you. Your Consultant will generally request that you have diagnostic scans and tests during your appointment in order to provide prompt results. Our clinic nurses will show you to the relevant department and will be able to offer you support and information about the scans and tests your Consultant has requested. These may include a mammogram, an ultrasound of your breast and a biopsy.
Our specialist Mammographers will carry out your mammogram and the images will be sent to your Consultant during the same clinic.
If you require an ultrasound and biopsy, these will be carried out during your Breast Clinic appointment. However, the tissue sample will need to be sent away for investigation and you will be given a follow up appointment to see your Consultant, usually one week later. Your Consultant will be able to discuss this with you.
What if further treatment is needed?
If your Consultant recommends further treatment, they will discuss all the available options with you when they go through your results. Our team of specialists will be able to support you and help with any questions you might have.
If your Consultant recommends a procedure, this can be carried out at KIMS Hospital in Maidstone.
