Our Approach
Macmillan and Manchester University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust (MFT) are working together to improve the information we give you during and after your breast cancer treatment at the Manchester Breast Service.
We have listened to our patients and their difficulties about getting safe and reliable information in a way that is easily accessible. This website has been developed so that we can improve the information we provide and ensure we give the patient consistent help and advice.
This information is currently being updating in Urdu, Arabic, Mandarin, Farsi and Polish. If you need help meanwhile please contact your breast care nurse at your local breast unit. Contact details can be found on the Contact Us page.
