About

Miss Joanna Franks is highly experienced in performing breast and oncoplastic surgery for both malignant and benign breast conditions. Additionally, she devotes a lot of her working time to the early diagnosis of breast cancer, mastectomy procedures, breast conservation, and breast cancer screening.

Miss Franks graduated with her undergraduate degree in medicine from Imperial College London, before undertaking research into pathology funded by the MRC. Following this, she undertook her Higher Surgical Training within the London Deanery, working and learning at several highly prestigious units including the Oncoplastic Breast Unit at UCLH and the Macmillan Cancer Centre. She also completed a Master's Degree in Medical Education, allowing her to improve the standards at several renowned London Medical Schools such as the Royal Free Medical School and UCLH medical school. On top of this, she is also a Medical Assessor for the GMC.

Miss Franks has dedicated her time to charity, as a trustee for the Future of Dreams Organisation she is responsible for raising awareness, support, and funds for patients with breast cancer. She also held the position of Pan London Breast Hub Co-ordinator, in response to COVID-19 she ensured that breast cancer patients were still treated and diagnosed during the pandemic.

It is important that HCA is transparent about our relationship with those doctors who provide us with clinical guidance on delivering the best possible care to patients and operating our hospitals safely and efficiently. We set out here some of the ways in which we work together and the amount we pay this doctor for such services.

Explanation

I received a shock BRCA 1 diagnosis in July this year. From my first appointment with Miss Franks, I knew I’d found the right surgeon for me. Not only is Miss Franks incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, authoritative and highly experienced - she’s human too, displaying warmth, kindness and empathy. The whole process from diagnosis to bilateral mastectomy and reconstruction has been seamless under her care and guidance. She and her team have taken on the burden of making sure I speak to the correct people (from geneticist to psychologist) and making all arrangements. At what is an incredibly scary, daunting and overwhelming time, having Miss Franks looking after me and figuratively holding my hand has been sanity saving. She is an incredibly rare combination of clinical excellence and skill, professionalism and compassion. I feel so lucky to have been under her exceptional care.

Miss Joanna Franks was amazing, she made me feel so calm even though I was quite nervous and she saw me twice after my operation which I wasn’t expecting at all. Her bedside manner is superb and I would highly recommend her as a breast consultant.
