The Breast Awareness Clinic is not taking appointments at the moment. This website is for information only. If you have any breast symptoms, please speak to your GP.
This website shares information about breast cancer awareness, risk and early detection. It was created by Laura, a Senior Breast Clinical Nurse Specialist currently working within the NHS.
The average lifetime risk of breast cancer in the UK is around 1 in 8, but every person’s risk is different. Lifestyle, genetics and other risk factors all play a part.
Understanding the causes of breast cancer, and the steps that can help reduce your risk, gives you the knowledge to take control of your health.
Early detection of breast cancer saves lives. The sooner a breast cancer is found, the better the outcome is likely to be. Getting to know how your breasts normally look and feel, and checking them regularly, makes it more likely you will notice a change.
If you notice any change in your breasts, or have any symptoms, please see your GP.
