Around 250 women have been recalled for further breast cancer screening after concerns were raised about assessments carried out by a junior doctor.
The Royal Bournemouth and Christchurch Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has invited around 250 patients who attended its breast clinic between January 2011 and July 2012 to come for a further examination.
They were initially told they did not require a follow-up appointment .
The hospital said in a statement: "This is because the consultants who run the breast clinic have recently raised concerns regarding a junior doctor, who is no longer working in the trust, and the way in which an initial assessment of some patients may have been carried out.
"We have no evidence of any harm to the patients seen by this junior doctor.
"However, as a precaution, we are bringing some patients back for an assessment by a consultant."
Tony Skene, consultant breast surgeon, said: "The vast majority of patients who have attended the breast clinic at Bournemouth during this time remain unaffected.
"We do however realise that for those patients that we do recall this may lead to additional anxiety and we apologise for the distress that this may cause."
He added that patients would be offered a prompt appointment and access to a support telephone line in the interim.
