Breast Support Services
Our mission is to support the early detection of breast cancer in the UK. Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, with 1 in 7 developing breast cancer in their lifetime. Almost 50% of breast cancer is first detected by women themselves and yet 49% of women say they don’t check themselves on a regular basis.
We provide self-referred breast awareness consultations to women who are 18 and over with specialist nurses. They provide confidential breast awareness advice via a face-to-face appointment (for local women, in normal times) or secure video appointment or telephone call to any woman who wants one, without having to see a GP first. Checking your breasts regularly can make a huge difference in early detection, whether you’re 25 or 75. By learning what’s normal for you, and understanding potential early signs of breast cancer, you can make sure you get the screening, help and support you may need, as soon as possible.

What They Say
Testimonials
Thank you so much! I really do appreciate everything you told me yesterday and for this email today. I will monitor things very closely and see if I can start to make some positive lifestyle changes too. And yes, I have just started keeping a diary. 💕
You were fantastic and I cannot thank you enough.
Thank you again.

Last week I had a breast check awareness meeting at Coco Boo in Leigh on Sea with Nurse Natalie, which was very informative and insightful. Thank you.
Ms S 21/9/21
Please could you pass my absolute thanks on to Natalie who called me last night.
It was so reassuring to speak to an expert nurse and she has taken a weight off of my shoulders that I have been worrying about for several months. I can’t believe it took just the one phone call to make me feel so happy and free of worry.
I would also like to say that Jan who took my phone call yesterday morning is also an absolutely lovely lady and so helpful too.
Mrs S 21/9/21
I attended The Hub, Witham for a breast awareness appointment with a nurse from the Lady McAdden unit at Southend yesterday. The nurse showed me how to examine myself as well as answering any questions that I had. I will definitely attend again if they return to The Hub and would advise everyone else to do the same, thank you for saving me driving to Southend.

Dear Lady McAdden Team,
I just wanted to drop a quick email to say thank you so much for such a cohesive, kind and caring service. It was so easy to access, everyone I spoke to was caring, reassuring and competent. The appointment via video link was as close a second to a face-to-face appointment as I think it’s possible to get. Kerry was so reassuring and kind, the ‘virtual hug’ really made me feel as though we were in a traditional consult. I felt at ease, heard and that the time mattered for me. Thank you all of you, for such a wonderful, empowering service.

As always you have been so kind and helpful. I appreciate you so much. Thank you!
Mrs G 19/7/21
I had a video appointment a couple of weeks ago with your nurse Kerry which was most helpful.
Following on, I contacted my GP who referred me to the hospital breast unit. I went there this morning and am pleased to say that there is not a problem, thank goodness.
Many thanks again.
Mrs C 14/7/21
I just had my online screening with Kerry and I felt I need to email and tell you how at ease Kerry put me in discussing what I will expect over the next few years regarding the screening programme, she explained in detail how to most effectively check my breasts. I am feeling a lot less anxious now.
