The breast surgery team has bases at all three hospital sites, which means we are able to provide care close to home for people in Worcestershire.

The department has a very high immediate breast reconstruction rate, where reconstruction begins at the time of mastectomy. We are also able to offer therapeutic mammoplasty, a procedure to reduce breast size at the same time as operating for breast cancer.

Most procedures are carried out either as a day case, or with a short 23 hour stay overnight. More complex work, like breast reconstruction, can mean a stay of up to four days.
