Mr James Worsfold
I am a Consultant Oncoplastic Breast Surgeon based in Colchester, offering private diagnostic breast clinics and personalised surgical care for patients with breast conditions, including breast cancer.
Having grown up in Colchester, I am proud to now practise in the community that shaped me. I completed my medical training at Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry, graduating with Distinction in Medical Science, before undertaking higher surgical training in oncoplastic breast surgery. I was awarded FRCS (General Surgery) in 2024 and completed my training in the East of England training deanery in 2025. I currently hold a substantive NHS Consultant Oncoplastic Breast Surgeon post in Colchester Hospital.
My practice focuses on the full pathway of breast care, from rapid-access diagnostic breast clinics through to surgical management of breast cancer, offering a wide range of modern oncoplastic breast surgery techniques. These approaches aim to treat cancer effectively while preserving or restoring breast shape wherever possible, tailored carefully to each individual.
I am known for providing compassionate, kind, and truly individualised care. I believe that clear communication is central to good surgical practice. I take time to explain complex medical information in a way that is easy to understand, involving patients and their loved ones fully in discussions. My goal is to help patients feel informed, supported, and in control of their decision-making, so they are confident and comfortable with their ongoing care plan.
Alongside my clinical work, I am an Associate Lecturer at Anglia Ruskin University, with a strong interest in teaching, training, and developing the next generation of surgeons. This commitment ensures my practice remains evidence-based, up to date, and grounded in the highest professional standards.
If you are seeking expert breast care in a calm, supportive environment, I am committed to providing thoughtful, high-quality treatment that is centred on you as an individual.
