This #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth, we’re delighted to announce we're making a landmark investment of £16.6m to transform breast cancer care in East London. 💗 Starting in early 2026, patients in East London will have access to a dedicated Breast Cancer Centre at St Bartholomew’s Hospital. This will completely change local breast cancer care for generations to come. Patients will benefit from: ➡️ Improved access to advanced breast surgery and reconstruction ➡️ Shorter stays in the hospital ➡️ More supportive care, including fertility, recovery and wellbeing services ➡️ More equitable access to the very best care ➡️ Faster diagnoses ➡️ New opportunities to join research and access cutting edge treatments Why is this needed? Breast cancer patients in North East London have the lowest five- and ten-year survival rates in the country, according to @ONS. There’s also a high prevalence of breast cancer in women under 40, and a prevalence of more aggressive types of breast cancer. The development will enable @NHSBartsHealth to bring breast cancer surgery from across its hospitals into one place. It’s expected the centre will handle around 1,800 breast surgeries annually.

View Day at St Bartholomew's Hospital. First time hosting a stall showcasing stem cell transplantation. @CancerBarts

Showcasing our stem cell bath used to thaw products before infusion. A really nice way of sharing our work, and celebrating the successes in haem-onc over the years. Lots of patients, relatives, and colleagues asked about the journey, procedure, and recovery. @CancerBarts
