## Job Content

### Job overview

The RMH breast unit (Sutton and Chelsea) is the largest cancer service in the trust and one of the largest breast units in the UK treating over 700 new breast cancers per annum. We provide one of the UK’s most comprehensive breast services both as a secondary and tertiary provider, with all the usual core services as well as additional services including secondary care specialist nurses, psychological medicine and a regional genetics service. RMH has a 40% primary post-mastectomy reconstruction rate and a mature oncoplastic team with fortnightly oncoplastic MDMs. The Sutton oncoplastic team consists of 5 breast surgeons. We manage approximately 400 new cancers, 150 of which are screen-detected. We work in close collaboration with our plastic surgical colleagues, 4 of whom have clinics and operate in Sutton. At the Sutton site there are 9.5 sessions of oncoplastic breast surgery each week and 5 rapid diagnostic clinics. There are also 3 plastics lists (predominantly breast reconstruction) each week. There is a parallel plastics clinic alongside one of the breast clinics. We have a large Open Access Follow Up service to better meet the needs of our growing numbers of survivors.
