Delivering real choice: the future of breast reconstruction in England

Breast Cancer Now - For those who choose it, breast reconstruction is a vital part of recovery from breast cancer or risk reducing surgery. However, this report reveals that too often, access and choice is being denied - making it harder for people to rebuild their lives. Breast Cancer Now is calling on NHS England to work in partnership with them, the Association of Breast Surgery (ABS) and the British Association of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons (BAPRAS) to develop a practical plan for breast reconstruction services that addresses the backlog, removes barriers and ensures timely and fair access to reconstruction for all women who want it. The report makes recommendations to help achieve this.ReportPress release
