The Breast Service is for women and men who are concerned about their breast health such as pain, soreness or lumps.
|
The Breast Service is a joint service of the Royal Women's Hospital and the Royal Melbourne Hospital with clinics held at both sites.
Occasionally you may have to attend more than one hospital during your care to enable you to receive an appointment sooner or to access a service that is only available at one site.
The Breast Service is staffed by a team of specialist breast surgeons, other specialists, junior doctors and breast care nurses.
Our tests and procedures are not dangerous and are usually not painful. We will provide you with written information to help you understand your particular condition and all of the procedures.
