What PLAB 2 breast surgery stations cover
Breast PLAB 2 stations cover breast lumps, pain and cancer concerns. They test sensitive history-taking, red-flag screening, and clear, reassuring explanation of referral and triple assessment.
Topics you can practise in these stations include:
- Breast lump

How to approach a breast surgery station
Take a focused breast history, ask about risk factors and the red flags below, and explain referral and triple assessment reassuringly.
The underlying structure is the same as any PLAB 2 station: greet and confirm identity, explore the patient's ideas, concerns and expectations early, take a focused history, screen for the red flags below, explain your thinking in plain English, and agree a shared plan with clear safety-netting. See the free PLAB 2 preparation guide for the full study plan.
Red flags to screen for in breast surgery stations
Examiners reward candidates who actively screen for what must not be missed. In breast surgery stations, the key red flags include:
- A new firm, fixed or irregular breast lump
- Skin dimpling, tethering or peau d'orange
