The Breast Unit in Oxford sees approximately 8,000 referrals per year with over 600 newly diagnosed patients with breast cancer.

They are treated at the Cancer Centre at the Churchill Hospital, (which is also home to the NHS Breast Screening Programme), and at the Horton Hospital in Banbury.

We have an enthusiastic multidisciplinary team with one stop clinics supported by 6 breast radiologists and 3 breast pathologists, medical and clinical oncologists, cancer genetics, plastic surgery and lymphoedema services.

The fellow will be working under the supervision of 7 consultants (3 are part-time).

The unit provides a full range of Oncoplastic breast surgery service in collaboration with the plastic surgery team, who provide a free-flap reconstruction service.

The Trust comprises four hospitals - the John Radcliffe Hospital, Churchill Hospital and Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre in Headington and the Horton General Hospital in Banbury.

Our values, standards and behaviours define the quality of clinical care we offer and the professional relationships we make with our patients, colleagues and the wider community.

We call this Delivering Compassionate Excellence and its focus is on our values of compassion, respect, learning, delivery, improvement and excellence.

These values put patients at the heart of what we do and underpin the quality healthcare we would like for ourselves or a member of our family.
