Clinics

Crawley Hospital prosthesis fitting clinics is for patients who have undergone a mastectomy. It is held on the second and fourth Wednesday of every month.

The 30-minute appointment will be arranged for approximately six weeks after your operation to see Janine Verge, our dedicated bra and prosthesis fitter. It is advisable to either wear or bring a plain light coloured top to your appointment as this helps with checking for symmetry.

If the correct size is not in stock, we will order it and arrange a further appointment for you to come back once the correct size has arrived. Alternatively we will advise you when it is available to be collected from either Crawley or East Surrey Hospital, depending on which is nearer to where you live.

The prosthesis fitting clinic is also available for you in the future should you require a replacement, change in size or other assessment. Please contact the breast CNS to discuss your needs and to learn more about updated and improved products.
