Re-establishing Breast Reconstruction Services

17th June 2020

 

Further to our recent COVID webinar on breast reconstruction, arrangements are now in hand to modify the national prioritisation table appropriately in order to re-establish breast reconstruction services both as part of the primary surgery for breast cancer and for those patients requiring delayed reconstruction. 

We are most grateful to all who contributed both to the webinar and this guidance. As with all guidance at this time, the documents and prioritisation will be modified to reflect experience and developments.

Further to the above documents, Association of Breast Surgery President Julie Doughty has produced a statement establishing the full support of the ABS for BAPRAS' call for the resumption of breast reconstruction services.
