It was an opportunity for colleagues and visitors to learn more about blood donation and the difference it makes to patients every day.

🎉👏🏼 Today, The Priory Hospital successfully completed the first da Vinci 5 robotic case in the West Midlands.

This is an exciting development for both our hospital and, most importantly, for patients across the region.

The da Vinci 5 system represents the latest advancement in robotic-assisted surgery, helping surgeons operate with enhanced precision. For patients, this can make a real difference. Procedures performed using this technology often involve smaller incisions, less pain following surgery, and shorter recovery times, allowing many people to return to their normal routines sooner.

💙Thank you to our theatre team and Mr Rajeev Peravali, Consultant General and Colorectal Surgeon, for completing the first case!

Bowel cancer doesn’t always come with obvious symptoms and it doesn’t only affect older people.

Following yesterday’s “Too young for bowel cancer? Think again” webinar with David McArthur, we’re highlighting one simple test that can make a real difference: the FIT (Faecal Immunochemical Test).

The FIT test is quick, non-invasive, and can help detect hidden blood in your stool, often one of the earliest signs of bowel cancer.

It’s a small step that could lead to earlier diagnosis and better outcomes.

We’re really pleased to share that one of our former patients, Ramiz, has released a memoir 'Stronger Than the Scar'.

In it, he tells the story of being diagnosed with an acoustic neuroma in 1980s Iraq during wartime, and the huge challenges he faced just to access treatment. He also looks back on his facial nerve graft surgery here at The Priory Hospital, which was pioneering at the time.

You can find out more following this link to his website

At twenty-eight, Ramiz Gabrial’s life changed in an instant with a rare and life-threatening diagnosis. What followed was a journey defined not just by survival, but by courage, uncertainty, and an unwavering determination to move forward.
