Founded by Mr. Naren Basu and Dr. Daniel Henderson, Birmingham Breast Group champions a collegiate approach to breast care, providing patients with excellence and innovation.
A dedicated team of respected specialists includes: surgeons, oncologists, pathologists, radiologists, psychologists, geneticists, and nurses, ensuring comprehensive and cutting-edge care for all aspects of breast health.
WHO ARE WE?
The Experts
Whilst working together at Birmingham’s teaching hospitals, Mr Naren Basu and Dr Daniel Henderson developed a shared vision to set a new bar for the future of breast care, and Birmingham Breast Group was formed.
Naren and Daniel’s particular aspirations wanted to see the same quality of care and Multidisciplinary Team approach that is used in the NHS applied to the private sector, with specialists coming together to make decisions regarding treatment of individuals on a case-by-case basis.
BBG’s healthcare professionals recognise the need for a governance infrastructure to create a new clinical landscape, built on a collaborative approach with the best minds and practitioners in breast care.
The BBG team is made up of progressive and field-leading specialists, who discuss each individual case and encourage mutual responsibility. We share the same ethos and realise the benefits of teamwork. Within this collegiate environment, opinions are challenged, insights are shared and, as a group, we come together to decide on the best pathway forward. Our shared quest is for excellence in breast care and, ultimately, enhanced wellness.

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.
