This article demonstrates that patients are increasingly turning to AI tools for healthcare advice. Use is more common in younger patients, showing the use of search engines, websites and chat bots such as ChatGPT. Most commonly patients were looking for healthcare information on health conditions, medications, treatment options and self diagnosis. Our patients are definitely using it and we also use it in our care. Some insights from us would be;
- I think it is excellent for finding oncology treatment options: to get accurate information consider searching for specific UK or US guidance eg “tell me what the UK guidance would be for adjuvant treatments for a 62year old post menopausal woman with a 17mm grace two ductal cancer, oestrogen positive her 2 negative breast cancer”
- it’s great for something with specific guidance eg eligibility. For specific treatments or genetic testing
- it’s great when their is clear data or information on a topic
♥️ ♥️ this gave us all a lift this morning. Patient experience is definitely a team effort. I am very blessed to have such a great team which starts with Millie my practice manager who supports my patients and me in equal measure. I may be the person at the front but I know my patients appreciate much more than I alone offer them. We try to offer calmness, warmth and excellent care at the most stressful time for women and their families, and it’s wonderful and affirming to hear patients appreciate and reflect back the genuine care that comes from our team. ❤️❤️
Grazie mille to the Instituto di Candiolo Turin for a fantastic course learning a variation and improvement to our nipple sparing mastectomy techniques. Performing our nipple sparing mastectomies endoscopically will enable us to do implant reconstructions through a smaller 3cm incision which is away from the breast. A normal nipple sparing technique is tricky for the surgeon as scars are bigger than 3cm but still not large, it’s hard to get access and light to where you need to cut. Endoscopic assistance means good light, a great view and a comfy seat! What does it mean for patients? Small hidden scars and potentially better sensation on the reconstructed breast. Really excited to be able to offer this option to women with smaller A-C cup breasts in the near future 🙌
Breast reduction surgery is one of the most common cosmetic procedures we do. This patient was keen to share her before and after photos to allow other women to know what to expect under our care. This is a woman who has had a tough year and struggled with the weight and appearance of her breasts. Breast reduction surgery is always a compromise, reducing the weight and size of the breasts and improving the look of breasts in (and potentially out of) clothes but putting scars on the breast and changing the breast and nipple sensation. In these photos she is a couple of months out and the scars are still slightly pink so she is going to use silicone scar tape on the scars. #breastreductionmanchester #breastreductioncheshire Massive thanks to this patient 🙏🏻
“There are truly no words that feel quite enough to express my gratitude. This has helped to restore my confidence and a sense of wholeness and a deep personal part of my womanhood. Thankyou for your expertise, exceptional skill and warm gentle compassion. What you do changes lives in ways that reach far beyond the operating theatre and I will always carry heartfelt appreciation for the part you have played in my chapter and journey of life. Thankyou …” 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻. This……makes the sacrifices all worth it. This is why we do it.
Spent a lovely couple of days in central Manchester at the Prevent Breast Cancer Research Conference. Well done to the Charity team and faculty for putting on an event promoting breast cancer prevention and research and building a community of clinicians and researchers across the Uk and wider to work together. My highlights were a great talk on robotic mastectomy, updates on the Jewish BRCA testing programme, insights on the way family history clinics are managed in the UK (Breast Cancer Now) and the best lunches I’ve ever had at a conference!!!! 😋

And with that January is done! It’s been a really nice month to start the year, lovely patients, interesting cases, and some real intellectual and surgical challenges. One patient even got my thanks for coming to see me, as I enjoyed doing her operation so much. So satisfying to correct something complex when you know the patient is going to feel so much better after it 🙏🏻. Highlight of the month has been the two advisory boards I’ve been on, super interesting to be invited to discuss new technologies and drugs with true experts. I think we all learnt a lot and also felt valued for what each of us brought to the table. Now bring on February and the later evenings ☀️
