The Westbourne Centre will help PIP Implant patients

The Westbourne Centre are here to help

Although at The Westbourne Centre we have never used PIP implants, we fully understand the worry and anxiety patients with PIP implants are feeling, particularly those whose private providers are not fulfilling their obligations to remove or change their implants. Instead of being treated with compassion and dignity, these patients are caught in a dilema and feel abandoned at a time when they feel that they need help and reassurance the most.

As a gesture of good will, the management at The Westbourne Centre would like to offer any patient who has un-ruptured PIP Implants (patients with ruptured PIP implants qualify for NHS treatment, even if they had private surgery), removal or replacement of their implants at a very minimum cost in recognition of the difficulties they are in and the severe anxiety they feel. The Westbourne Centre would like to demonstrate that many in the private sector DO care about patients and put people before profits.

We have been able to create this opportunity for women with PIP implants only due to the cooperation of a number of Consultant Anaesthetists and a group of Consultant Plastic Surgeons, who are all members of BAAPS and BAPRAS, in response to the plea by the two associations to their members to help these patients in any way they can, even if they were not involved in inserting PIP implants initially.
