What Our Patients Say…
“Very good service, everyone explained things clearly. I was made to feel very comfortable and reassured”. Please see more reviews on the Doctify site, on which we hold a perfect 5/5 rating.
At Birmingham Breast Group, we deliver world-class expertise but with a personal touch. Founded by Mr. Naren Basu and Dr. Daniel Henderson, our clinic brings the highest standard of NHS multidisciplinary care to private healthcare, ensuring patients benefit from collaborative decision-making alongside the latest in treatment innovations.
We believe in comprehensive, patient-centred care and all treatment plans are catered to individual needs. Whatever the treatment or reason for seeking our expertise, our goal is to empower patients with knowledge, confidence, and the best possible outcomes.
Our One-Stop Breast Clinic at The Priory Hospital exists to deliver fast-track breast cancer diagnosis and assessment in a single visit. If you have noticed a lump, pain, or changes in your breast, early evaluation is crucial.
During your appointment, you will see a breast specialist, undergo imaging (mammogram/ultrasound), and, if required, have a breast biopsy. This rapid, coordinated approach eliminates unnecessary delays and enables immediate diagnosis or reassurance.
If further treatment is then required, our team will guide you through your next steps, including surgical and oncology care.
Early breast cancer diagnosis is often key to successful treatment. At Birmingham Breast Group, we use the latest imaging technologies, including mammography, ultrasound, and MRI, to accurately assess and diagnose breast conditions.
For patients with a family history of breast cancer, our cancer genetics service can provide advanced risk assessment and genetic screening for BRCA1, BRCA2, and other hereditary mutations.
If you have received a breast cancer diagnosis and are unsure about your treatment plan or have questions you feel have been left unresolved then a second opinion can provide clarity and confidence.
Our MDT specialists review previous test results, imaging, and pathology reports, and their expertise ensures you receive the most accurate and up-to-date treatment guidance.
Whether you are considering alternative surgical options, reconstructive techniques, or additional oncology treatments (chemotherapy/radiotherapy), a conversation with our expert breast surgeons and oncologists will provide clarity and set you on the path most appropriate for your needs.
Our highly experienced breast surgeons at The Priory Hospital provide a full range of surgical treatments, tailored to each patient’s diagnosis. We offer:
Breast-conserving surgery (lumpectomy) – Preserving as much breast tissue as possible while ensuring complete cancer removal.
Mastectomy (skin-sparing/nipple-sparing) – Where full removal is required, options are available for preserving natural contours.
Sentinel node biopsy & axillary clearance – Identifying and removing affected lymph nodes.
Breast cancer surgery is often combined with oncology treatments, such as radiotherapy or chemotherapy, to provide the best outcomes.
For patients with a family history of breast cancer or other identified high-risk factors, our cancer genetics clinic is able to offer comprehensive genetic testing and risk assessment. Understanding your genetic profile (for instance BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations) allows for proactive treatment planning.
Our genetic specialists also help people explore preventative measures, including increased screening, risk-reducing medication, and preventative surgery. Individuals feel empowered to make informed choices about their long-term breast health.
Our breast reconstruction specialists talk prospective patients through both immediate and delayed reconstruction options following breast cancer surgery. We offer:
Autologous (flap) reconstruction – Using natural tissue from another part of the body.
Implant-based reconstruction – Restoring volume with medical-grade implants.
Fat transfer & symmetry correction – Refining breast shape for a natural look.
Every patient receives an individualised consultation to create a unique and personal care plan.
For patients undergoing breast reconstruction or considering cosmetic breast augmentation, we provide the highest-quality breast implants in a range of sizes, shapes, and materials.
Whether restoring symmetry after surgery or enhancing breast volume, our breast implant procedures are tailored to deliver natural, long-lasting results. Comprehensive consultations are held with all patients to help you choose the best option for your body and lifestyle.
A breast biopsy is a vital diagnostic procedure that is used to determine if breast abnormalities are benign or cancerous. We perform:
Needle biopsy – A minimally invasive technique for accurate diagnosis.
Surgical biopsy – Used in specific cases where more tissue needs to be examined.
Early detection via biopsy and imaging enables faster treatment decisions and potentially better outcomes.
For patients requiring breast chemotherapy, we create individualised treatment plans to effectively target cancer cells. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (before surgery) may shrink tumours, while adjuvant chemotherapy (post-surgery) reduces the risk of recurrence.
Our expert oncology team ensures personalised drug combinations and dosage plans, balancing treatment effectiveness with minimised side effects.
Breast radiotherapy is often recommended after breast-conserving surgery to destroy remaining cancer cells. We have radiotherapy specialists who use precise image-guided techniques to maximise tumour control while protecting healthy tissue.
We ensure patients receive comprehensive post-treatment care, monitoring long-term health and recovery.

Mr Henderson was kind and understanding and I felt completely at ease with him. He was well informed of my condition and explained his treatment plan to me fully. He has been very attentive in answering emails from me and I really cannot recommend him highly enough. I feel very fortunate to have been in his care.

I have been a patient of Dr Basu since being diagnosed with Breast Cancer a few months ago. Despite the curse of my diagnosis I couldn’t have asked for a better Dr and standard of care. He and his team are super-efficient, have gone out of their way to get fast effective treatment for me and he has super-human levels of patience. During every consultation he has been ever patient, carefully listened to all my questions and concerns then taken the time to explain everything to me and provided constant reassurance. He has been accessible at all times even over weekends and the support has been broad. He looks after you as if you are family and despite having a 90 minute journey to see him at times as we wanted the fastest appointment we couldn’t ask for anything more. Our family see him as an angel not just a doctor for what he has done for us and would recommend him in less than a blink of a eye.

I first met Naren Basu in 2016 at the Queen Elizabeth Women’s Hospital. I had been diagnosed with breast cancer. He is an exceptionally skilled man at putting people at their ease and explaining everything with great patience and candour. He is a consummate professional and really knows his stuff, especially relating to breast cancer. He is very clever, witty, and a super surgeon. He carried out a reduction to both my breasts, removing the tumours at the same time. I was fortunate indeed to have my surgery via the NHS, it would have been very expensive as a private patient but worth every penny. I felt like a million dollars after my operation. I think he is a fabulous man and so skilled on so many levels and outstanding in human kindness.

Nine days before I was due to go on an extended holiday I discovered problems in both breasts. I was lucky enough to get an appointment 3 days before travel. Mr Basu even called me on the day of the appointment to ask me to come in earlier to ensure they had time to undergo all of the tests that evening. Anyone who has had these problems will know how overwhelming it is but Mr Basu took his time to speak to me and explained all of the procedures/tests that would be carried out that evening and possible outcomes. I did have a small procedure and again everything was explained fully and felt quite safe in his hands. The follow up appointments were just as thorough and Mr Basu made sure I understood all that we discussed. If I ever found myself in this position again Mr Basu would be my first port of call.

I am currently under the care of Dr Daniel Henderson at Good Hope Hospital, and I couldn’t ask for better. He listens, and speaks to you in laymans terms so you understand what is going on now and in the future. He talks to you and not at you, and has a very calm and soothing manner. If you are lucky enough to be referred to him, rest assured that you are in good hands, as he gets things actioned quickly.
