Rachel runs an all female team of specialists looking after all breast problems including breast pain, cysts, breast cancer and breast reconstruction. Her private clinic offers patients rapid access to treatment in a purpose built facility, with appointments available within a couple of days as opposed to the typical NHS 2 week waiting time for breast symptoms.
In 2006 Rachel was appointed as a Consultant Surgeon at Worcestershire Royal Hospital and has been both MDT and clinical lead for the breast service. All her NHS work is breast surgery.
Rachel was awarded the NHS hero award in 2013 and Worcestershire Acute NHS Trust Patient's choice staff achievement nomination in 2015. She is also a recognised surgical trainer, having been the College Tutor for surgery and now Training Programme Director for the general surgical registrars in Coventry, Worcestershire and Warwickshire. She has written and produced many posters and publications on a range of topics in breast surgery and surgical training.
Rachel is married with two teenage children. She enjoys spending any spare time with her immediate and extended family and socialising with friends.
