Private breast cancer screening clinic in London

1 reply

I have a strong family history of breast cancer and I want to get private pre-emptive screening. I am under 40 so understand that MRI is best. I’d also like to
see a consultant to discuss screening and checking more broadly. Has anyone does this in London with a clinic they’d recommend? Thanks in advance 😊

Before seeking a private screening, given your family history - you're better off discussing the possibility of genetic testing with your GP and they will refer you if necessary. Should they find a mutation on either BRCA gene or PALB2, you will be eligible for annual screening in the form of a mammogram AND MRI.

If you want to jump immediately to seeing someone, I can recommend Laura Johnson who is the clinical lead and consultant oncoplastic breast surgeon at Bart's (NHS). She also have a private practise. IIRC, her initial consultation fee is £275 and any testing is extra.
