Breast Imaging

The Breast Imaging Service is provided by a team of four radiologists working within an integrated and effective multidisciplinary team working in both Worthing Hospital and St Richard’s Hospital. The Breast Unit at Worthing Hospital is located within the purpose built building opened in 2014, and incorporates the West Sussex Breast Screening Service.

In the last three years there have been significant changes within the team. A number of new appointments have revitalised the service which now has an outstanding reputation for performance and quality including preoperative diagnosis and small cancer detection rate, and has consistently met all the national screening performance targets for round length and assessment. The West Sussex Breast Screening Service is supported with modern technology, including tomosynthesis and VAB.

A system of peer review is operated to support all radiologists involved in breast screening and a Breast Board has been introduced which all consultants participate in to provide increased support, leadership and quality improvement.

Our hospitals are all situated along the beautiful Sussex coast, nestled against the South Downs National Park, and close to vibrant towns that are richly endowed with excellent cultural and sporting facilities, offering good transport links to London and Europe.

All newly appointed Consultants are mentored, via the “WSHFT Mentorship scheme for senior medical staff”.
