Ysbyty Ystrad Fawr Breast Unit Turns One Today!

Wednesday 5th February 2025

As we mark the first anniversary of the Breast Unit at Ysbyty Ystrad Fawr, we reflect on a year of remarkable achievements and unwavering dedication to patient care.  Over the past year, the Breast Unit has brought together clinical teams offering outpatient care, diagnostic investigations and surgery. It is a multidisciplinary unit with Consultants, Radiologists, Breast Care Nurses, Mammographers, Outpatient Nurses, Healthcare Support Workers, Medical Secretaries and Booking staff.

The introduction of a gold-standard one stop diagnostic service has allowed patients to undergo investigative procedures in a single visit, significantly improving efficiency and patient satisfaction.

Natalie North, Breast Unit Support Manager said: "The success of the Unit is a testament to the hard work and collaboration of the clinical teams, the support of the local community and the vision of leaders like Mr Gateley, whose legacy continues to inspire the team.  As we look to the future, we remain committed to providing the highest quality care and support to those affected by breast cancer."
