Leading Consultants at Chelsea Outpatients
Chelsea Outpatients is home to expert consultants who have specialised in the following disciplines and some also work and teach at the UK’s highly respected NHS hospitals:
Breast Screening
Accessing one of our key women's health services couldn't be easier at Chelsea Outpatients. Breast screening helps to diagnose early breast cancer before you experience symptoms. We receive both patient groups, those with GP referrals and those who are self referrals. We welcome self referrals from women who are aged 40 years or over and have a UK based GP.
Patients coming for their first appointment with one of our breast consultants will receive diagnostic tests that are required on the same visit. We offer Digital Mammography, 3D Tomosynthesis Mammography and Breast Ultrasound to produce high quality imaging to aid diagnosis. The results of these diagnostic tests will be available to you on the same day. Should a tissue sample be required; an image guided biopsy or fine needle aspiration may be undertaken.
You will be supported by our excellent team including our Clinical Breast Nurse Specialist, Consultant Breast Consultant, Consultant Radiologists and Mammographers. Follow up consultations will also be arranged. Where tissue samples have been taken, they will be reviewed at our Pathology Lab and results may take 72 hours or longer if the results are to be reviewed by our Multi Disciplinary Team.
NHS Breast Screening Service
If you have been recalled by the NHS for further assessment but choose to use private healthcare, we can assist you if you have private insurance or want to self-fund. We will liaise with you to obtain your previous imaging before your first appointment. This will enable the team to facilitate any further diagnostic examinations if required.
Gynaecology services
The gynaecology service provides women of all ages with reassuring treatment for their needs. Our consultant gynaecologists are leaders in their fields. Their expertise spans a wide range of services including gynaecology, fertility care, healthy contraception and menopause, supported by same or next-day appointments and diagnostics.
The Menopause Clinic opened in 2021, with a weekly clinic for patients who are looking to understand their menopausal symptoms and how to navigate this time in their life. The service consists of consultation and tests which vary from smears, mammograms and blood tests which can be completed on the same day. If needed, the clinic will arrange dietician and physiotherapy appointments also.
Specialist gynaecology nurse
A specialist nurse can be made available during clinics to help you with your visit, or to answer queries and provide support relating to any aspect of your health concerns.
The Lumps & Bumps Clinic
The Lumps and Bumps Clinic at Chelsea Outpatients is a specialist, rapid diagnostic, triple assessment service for soft tissue masses in men and women. We swiftly diagnose benign lumps and identify other conditions like soft tissue cancers.
On-site triple assessment service
We use three distinct steps to diagnose any soft tissue masses causing concern.
Skin Cancer Clinic
The Skin Cancer Clinic provides access to MOHs surgery. Named after the surgeon who developed the technique, micrographic surgery is used to treat common types of skin cancer including basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma. The skin layer is analysed on the spot under a microscope and the process is repeated until the layers of skin show no signs of cancer cells. This process ensures the minimum amount of skin tissue is removed whilst maximising the clearance of the skin tumour.
MOHs surgery is suited for the removal of skin cancers on thin, delicate areas of the skin, such as the face.
The two centres are conveniently located and are about a 15 minutes’ walk west from Sloane Square underground station (District and Circle lines) and about 18 minutes’ walk from South Kensington underground station (Piccadilly, District and Circle lines),
For anyone using the buses along the King’s Road, the centres are located just past Chelsea Town Hall and on the same side of the road as Chelsea Fire Station.
