Help us build a new Breast Care Centre

We want every breast care patient to have the best possible experience when they come to hospital.  That’s why we are planning to build a £2.5 million modern Breast Care Centre where state-of-the-art care can be delivered to all our patients.

The new centre will bring all elements of breast care at Ipswich Hospital under one roof and provide an environment where patients can be imaged, biopsied where necessary, and see their clinician in one appointment without the need to get dressed and undressed several times. There will also be new dedicated clinics for men and young people.

Our aim is for the care given to Suffolk patients to be among the very best.

We need your help to raise £2.5 million to make our dream a reality

“We are raising funds to redevelop the Ipswich Hospital Breast Unit outpatient areas. There is a small chance we will raise more than we need for this project. If this happens, or if for any unforeseen reason we are unable to proceed with the re-development project, your gift will be used to purchase equipment, furnishings and similar items which will benefit patients attending the Breast Clinic. Your gift may also be used for staff development and training which directly benefits our Breast Clinic patients.”
