❤️At Chesterfield Royal Hospital we have a dedicated breast team who see around 160 patients a week. Alongside routine screening appointments they are there to diagnose, treat and support women and men who are diagnosed with breast cancer. 🌟As #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth begins, we are featuring Emily Moulds, Trainee Breast Nurse Consultant as our #WhoWeAre and #WhatWeDo colleague. 👩🎓A Chesterfield girl, Emily has been part of #TeamCRH for over two decades, having started as a HealthCare Assistant in 2004 where she worked across the surgical wards until she qualified as a registered nurse in 2007. 📞From that point a career in surgery was her aim. She completed 7 years in surgery finishing off on Elmton ward where she cared for many breast cancer patients. When a role became available as a nurse practitioner Emily was successful, working in post for nine years before taking the opportunity to become a trainee breast nurse consultant in early 2023. 🩺Her role is to support patients when referred on the urgent 2 week wait cancer pathway, this is often the beginning of a patient’s cancer journey. Emily will meet with patients and take a history of their current concern and a full medical history. She explains what will happen at that appointment, organise imaging and either discharge a patient or see them at the end of their appointment to discuss the findings from the assessment. 📞She safety nets patients care to ensure they have the correct follow up appointments/care. Other clinics that she is part of includes, follow up of breast cancer patients up to 5 years after treatment, family history clinics and benign telephone calls. 🩷Emily has this advice: 🍒 Breast cancer can affect anyone so it’s important to be chest aware - Check your chest/breast area including your armpits and up to your neck area every month. 🧁🧁You can do this standing up or sitting down, in the bath or shower and you may find it useful to use soap or moisturiser so your hands glide over the area. 👀 Look for any lumps, thickening or changes in the shape or size of your breasts, unusual swelling, indentations or skin changes such as puckering, dimpling or redness. Please look out for inverted nipples or crusting or anything that is unusual for you. If you find any of these symptoms or anything that is not normal for you then please seek advice from your GP. ✅ More advice and support is available here: https://lnkd.in/erGhBrei.

👁️ This week is Eye health week and today, as part of our #WhoWeAre and #WhatWeDo feature we are showcasing our Head and Neck Care Unit management team. 💙 Leah, Seanie, Elizabeth and Joy together manage our admin teams within Opthamology, ENT, Audiology, Maxillofacial and Oral surgery, Orthodontics, Paediatric surgery and day case surgery. ⭐️ Administration is a vital role, making sure that clinicians diaries and lists are correct, and appointments are properly set up. Patients are tracked through the service to make sure that they are treated in clinical priority order and can set up any clinics if needed to ensure waiting times are at a minimum. 🌟 The team includes colleagues who ensure that patients have the correct treatments at the correct time to minimise eyesight deterioration or sight loss, colleagues who schedule operations and any pre-assessments prior to surgery, and clinical typists who ensure that letters are dictated and sent in a timely way.
