Chelsea Outpatients

Chelsea Outpatients is a modern, contemporary diagnostic and treatment facility spread across two neighbouring sites: 272 and 280 King’s Road. Patients can access appointments with a variety of specialist consultants. There is onsite imaging from MRI scanning, Ultrasound to X-ray and Mammogram as well as diagnostics including blood tests, providing convenient high quality private healthcare in the heart of Chelsea.

The breadth of private consultants and the depth of their experience means you can book an appointment and receive professional, personal, attentive private healthcare in well-equipped rooms where minor procedures can be carried out.

We receive both patient groups, those with GP referrals and those who are self referrals. We welcome self referrals from women who are aged 40 years or over and have a UK based GP.

Patients coming for their first appointment with one of our breast consultants will receive diagnostic tests that are required on the same visit. We offer Digital Mammography, 3D Tomosynthesis Mammography and Breast Ultrasound to produce high quality imaging to aid diagnosis. The results of these diagnostic tests will be available to you on the same day. Should a tissue sample be required; an image guided biopsy or fine needle aspiration may be undertaken.

You will be supported by our excellent team including our Clinical Breast Nurse Specialist, Consultant Breast Consultant, Consultant Radiologists and Mammographers. Follow up consultations will also be arranged. Where tissue samples have been taken, they will be reviewed at our Pathology Lab and results may take 72 hours or longer if the results are to be reviewed by our Multi Disciplinary Team.

If you have been recalled by the NHS for further assessment but choose to use private healthcare, we can assist you if you have private insurance or want to self-fund. We will liaise with you to obtain your previous imaging before your first appointment. This will enable the team to facilitate any further diagnostic examinations if required.

Your treatment will start with a comprehensive assessment, where the physiotherapist will carry out a physical examination and ask about your symptoms and medical history. Your physiotherapist will then provide you with an evidence-based treatment and exercise programme that is tailored to your needs. You will receive the very best care during your recovery and will have access to the latest treatments and state-of-the-art equipment.

The Skin Cancer Clinic provides access to MOHs surgery. Named after the surgeon who developed the technique, micrographic surgery is used to treat common types of skin cancer including basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma. The skin layer is analysed on the spot under a microscope and the process is repeated until the layers of skin show no signs of cancer cells. This process ensures the minimum amount of skin tissue is removed whilst maximising the clearance of the skin tumour.

MOHs surgery is suited for the removal of skin cancers on thin, delicate areas of the skin, such as the face.
