Consultant Breast Surgeon

We are looking to appoint a Consultant Breast Surgeon to work alongside 5 Consultant colleagues in this highly regarded breast service for patients living in the Doncaster and Bassetlaw areas. The Breast Service includes Breast Screening, diagnosis and management of Benign and Malignant Breast Disease and management of familial breast cancer. The Breast Service consists of 6 consultant Breast Surgeons (inclusive of this post) and 4 Consultant Breast Radiologists. A fifth Radiologist is being recruited currently. The team of consultants provide services in dedicated Breast Clinics at Doncaster Royal Infirmary (The Jasmine Centre) and Bassetlaw Hospital (The Diana Princess of Wales Breast Screening Unit). The team is supported by Nurse Practitioners, Breast Care nurses and Specialty doctors. Both units have imaging facilities including digital mammography, ultrasound and vacuum assisted biopsy. We are purchasing new imaging equipment which will support tomosynthesis. Bassetlaw Hospital benefits from a highly rated day surgical unit and Breast Surgery patients at Doncaster are able to use a dedicated day surgery unit within the Women's Hospital. This allows the majority of patients to be managed as day cases. There is a day surgery unit at Montagu Hospital, Mexborough, for management of minor surgery such as benign lumps, skin lesions, hernias etc.

The post holder will work in the Breast Units at Doncaster Royal Infirmary and Bassetlaw Hospital and the day surgery unit at Montagu Hospital, Mexborough. They will be responsible for the continued delivery and further development of a highly regarded breast service for patients living within the catchment area of the Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals and surrounding areas. The Breast Service includes Breast Screening, diagnosis and management of Benign and Malignant Breast Disease and management of familial breast cancer.
