Rapid Access Breast Examination Clinic

For women showing symptoms, this Gold Standard Triple Assessment with experienced consultants, as well as the latest in imaging technology and testing methods, will give you the peace of mind you need, or the early start in any treatment.

When you come to Pall Mall Medical for an assessment of your lump or pain, you’ll see a consultant radiologist and a consultant breast surgeon.

To begin with, you’ll meet with a consultant surgeon. He will assess your current symptoms and family history, which is important if your sisters, mother, aunts or grandmothers have previously been diagnosed with breast cancer.

Next, you’ll have a detailed mammogram and if necessary, an ultrasound, with an experienced radiologist.

If any abnormalities are identified, a biopsy; either via fine needle aspiration or core biopsy method, will be performed. The results will be available within 48 hours, and will be discussed in a follow-up consultation with your surgeon soon after the initial assessment.

Where possible, we arrange for the consultation, diagnostic scans, and biopsy procedure to take place on the same day at our private hospital, diagnostic and surgical centre in Newton-le-Willows. There is no need to travel elsewhere, we are able to carry out all the required tests and scans in one location.
