Quick answers
How soon can I be seen?
Most new patients are seen at the next scheduled clinic, usually within a week. If a symptom is clinically urgent, an appointment within 24 to 48 hours can usually be arranged. This is rarely needed.
Do I need a GP referral?
No, you can book directly. Most insurers ask for a GP letter before they cover the appointment.

When to phone the practice
If a breast change is not sudden but worries you, book and tell the practice the symptom is urgent.
The symptoms assessment page covers new breast symptoms, including a breast lump.
What happens at the appointment
Imaging impressions are usually discussed on the day, and core biopsy results follow in 3 to 5 working days. Every patient is offered a chaperone for the examination.
The one-stop clinic page sets out the visit, and the preparing for your appointment page explains what to bring.
NHS urgent referral
On the NHS, the standard is that a patient is told within 28 days of an urgent referral whether they have cancer or it has been ruled out. The page on NHS cancer waiting times explains the route.
Dr Tsang-Wright also sees NHS patients at the Bucks Breast Unit at Wycombe Hospital when their GP refers them.
Fees and insurance
If you’re using insurance, check with your insurer first, because most insurers ask for a GP letter before they cover the appointment. The fees and insurance page lists consultation fees and accepted insurers.
