For Breast Cancer Awareness Month, The London Clinic's Clinical Nurse, Busayo Adjani, explains how often and when women should do a breast self-examination.

At our dedicated One-stop Breast Clinic we offer same-day consultations and one-stop triple assessments, to help us build a clear picture of your breast health. Patients will see a consultant, receive imaging and tests, and even have a same-day biopsy if required.

Danny Leahy is our Head Chef and leads a team of around 20 chefs at The London Clinic, preparing food for patients, colleagues, and day cases. The kitchen operates from 07:00 until 21:00, with meals prepared, plated, and distributed throughout the hospital.

Danny says hospital food should do much more than simply provide a meal and he describes healthcare catering at The London Clinic as a relatively specialist area.

The standards and approach are closer in many ways to a high-quality hotel or restaurant than people might traditionally associate with hospital catering.

His role covers everything from writing menus and developing recipes to checking allergens, working with dietitians, maintaining presentation standards, and finding new ways to meet patients’ nutritional needs. Menus need to be suitable for people recovering from surgery, receiving cancer treatment, struggling with their appetite, or finding it difficult to swallow.

“It is a very rewarding industry,” Danny says. “Build your knowledge in hotels and restaurants and then bring that experience into healthcare.”

Consultant Haematologist Dr Mike Potter, who helps diagnose and treat patients with haematological disorders, talks about acute myeloid leukaemia.

Acute myeloid leukaemia is an aggressive malignancy of cells in the bone marrow that normally make blood cells.

Dr Potter says, "It is actually a very heterogeneous group of diseases and increasingly we can recognise genetic differences in the cells and we are exploiting that when it comes to treatments.

"AML has conventionally been treated with intensive chemotherapy based in hospitals, but we're moving to Anaera now where we are developing targeted treatments based on the genetics of the patient's own AML, which reduces that exposure to chemotherapy."

Taking a break from alcohol this Sober October? It is a chance to reflect on your drinking habits and consider your liver health.

Watch our reel to explore some of the potential benefits of drinking less, with insights from Professor Shahid Khan, who says "even a short break from alcohol, at least 2 alcohol free days per week, can give your liver a chance to recover and repair".

We’re delighted five colleagues from across The London Clinic have secured funding support towards further study, in roles spanning both our clinical and non-clinical teams.

Colleagues are developing their expertise in clinical microbiology, biomedical science, diabetes care, health and care management, patient safety and governance.

Diabetes Clinical Nurse Specialist Noumba Peti (pictured) has been approved for an MSc in Diabetes Clinical Care and Management at King’s College London.

Noumba said, “Gaining this qualification will help me champion best practice, be an influential clinical leader, and extend my impact beyond individual patients to the wider service and profession.”

Rochelle Francois, is a Senior Physiotherapist at The London Clinic, and our Lead Freedom to Speak Up Guardian.

Speak Up Week takes place 28-September - 2 October and takes place each year to encourage health and care employees to speak up about issues affecting patient safety and organisational improvement.

Being a Freedom to Speak Up Guardian means providing a safe, independent, and supportive space where colleagues can have their voice heard without fear of judgement or repercussions. For me, it is about listening, empowering others, and helping to drive positive change across the organisation.

Rochelle says, "I am passionate about creating an environment where every member of staff feels confident to raise concerns, share ideas, and speak openly about issues that may affect patient care, staff wellbeing, or organisational culture.

"By encouraging openness, transparency, and respect, we can continue to build a culture where people feel valued, supported, and confident that their concerns will be acted upon.”

Today is World Pharmacists Day – a day to recognise and celebrate the crucial role pharmacists play in building healthier communities everywhere.

Sabine Loko, our Chief Pharmacy Technician, helps ensure medicines are prepared accurately, supplied safely, and available when our patients need them.

Her work includes exploring prescription tracking, reducing paper-based processes, and learning from near misses. These improvements give clinical teams greater visibility, save valuable time, and help Pharmacy colleagues focus on delivering safe patient care.

Sabine also has an important message for anyone considering the next step in their career:

“Be open to learning and don’t let difficulties stop you. It is definitely possible.”
