The West Sussex Breast Care unit at Worthing Hospital is expanding its service.
A third breast care specialist has been appointed to improve the service offered to more than 4,000 patients who attend the unit each year.
Gabrielle Felton will join the team on March 31, joining Beryl Bird and Judith Finlay in offering advice and support to women with suspected or diagnosed breast cancer and helping families come to terms with the illness and treatment.
Since 1995, when the unit was opened, the number of women attending has increased by 27 per cent.
The range of services has also expanded, with women now being offered reconstruction, fitting and prosthetic clinics and lymphoedema assessment and treatment.
