Welcome
What we do
BUST is pleased to support the important work of the excellent Bristol Breast Care Centre by raising money to support innovation and the purchase of new technology, such as state-of-the-art scanners, before it is available through the NHS.
BUST has raised more than £4,000,000 and every penny has been spent supporting patient care. As well as providing equipment, BUST is also contributing towards pioneering surgery.
Recently your kind donations have paid for a new MRI scanner at Cossham Hospital. The state-of-the-art Siemens MAGNETOM Vida 3T MRI scanner will increase capacity for scanning outpatients, prioritising those with breast cancer, prostate cancer and gynaecological cancer. It will also be used for breast cancer imaging research.
