East Cheshire NHS Trust has opened The Victoria Centre on the Macclesfield District General Hospital site.
The dedicated unit will provide modern, high-quality services for the diagnosis, screening and treatment of breast cancer and outpatient facilities for a range of gynaecology problems, utilising state-of-the art equipment and techniques. The purpose-built unit replaces existing breast care and gynaecology facilities at the hospital, which were spread out over a number of hospital floors in areas shared with other services. The new unit brings together all of the breast and gynaecology outpatient and screening services and has five consultation rooms, two rooms dedicated to digital mammography and a further two rooms for breast ultrasound; there is also a dedicated prosthesis fitting area and a quiet room. The unit is designed to make attending a regular examination as anxiety free as possible, with the best possible patient care when it is needed most in the right place.
