Stress relief is more than a luxury – it can be an important part of looking after your body, especially if you live with chronic pain or an autoimmune condition. 💆🏻

Research shows that stress can:
󠁯•󠁏󠁏 worsen pain sensitivity,
󠁯•󠁏󠁏 affect immune function, and
󠁯•󠁏󠁏 make symptoms harder to manage.

But early support can make a real difference. 🩺

At our Private GP Service, we take a whole-person approach to your health. If you’re feeling run down, struggling with pain flares, or finding that stress is affecting your day-to-day wellbeing, booking a GP appointment can be a helpful first step towards getting advice, reassurance, and a plan that fits you.

If persistent hip pain and stiffness, injury or a condition is stopping you from enjoying everyday life, you may already be considering surgery. 🏥

Waiting too long means continuing to struggle with pain, stiffness, reduced mobility, and the knock-on effect this can have on daily activities.

For many people, late summer offers practical advantages for recovery, including longer days and warmer weather for gentle walking and outdoor exercise & physiotherapy, avoiding the highest peaks of winter flu season and summer heatwaves. ☀️🌬️

Our specialist Hip Surgeons provide personalised care from consultation through to rehabilitation. Please call to arrange an appointment at a time convenient for you:

The teenage years are when lifelong habits are formed, making it one of the most important times to look after your health.

Healthy habits don't need to be perfect – they just need to be consistent. Simple choices can make a real difference:

Move your body every day – even a walk counts! 🚶
Include activities that build strength & balance 🤸‍♀️
Stay hydrated – choose water over sugary or energy drinks 💧
Eat more whole, plant-based foods 🥗
Cut back on ultra-processed foods (UPFs) where you can 🍟
Take regular breaks from screens 📵
Prioritise good quality sleep 😴

If something is worrying you, talk to someone you trust. Asking for help is a sign of strength 🗣️

Looking after your health isn't about chasing perfection but building habits that help you feel your best now and in the future.

Planning a summer holiday? A little preparation before you travel can help avoid unnecessary health worries while you're away. 🧳✈️

Before you set off, make sure you have enough prescription medication for your trip, that you are allowed to bring them into the country, check whether time zone changes may affect when you take it, and consider how hotter temperatures could affect existing health conditions. 🥵

It's also worth speaking to a doctor if you have any new symptoms before travelling, rather than hoping they'll resolve on their own.

For families, don't forget the basics: sun protection, allergy medications if needed, and knowing the signs of heat exhaustion in children. 🧴🩹💊

If you would like advice before travelling, our Private GP Service is here to help.

More walking, paddleboarding, golf, hiking and holidays often mean we place greater demands on our knees during the summer months. 🦵🦵🏾🦿

For some people, this can lead to new aches and pains. For others, increased activity may aggravate an existing condition such as osteoarthritis, a meniscus injury, or tendon irritation.

While occasional discomfort after activity is common, persistent pain, swelling, stiffness or reduced mobility should not be ignored.

At New Victoria Hospital, our Knee Specialists can assess your symptoms, arrange imaging when appropriate, and recommend the most suitable treatment to help keep you moving comfortably.

Runner's knee isn't just "part of running". 🏃🦵 If you experience recurring knee pain, it is a sign that something more than simple overuse is going on.

Mr Khalid Al-Dadah, our Consultant Specialist Knee Surgeon, explains:
✔ What Runner's Knee actually is
✔ The progressive grades of Runner's Knee
✔ When symptoms can usually be managed conservatively
✔ The warning signs that mean it's time to see an Orthopaedic specialist

One of the biggest mistakes runners make is pushing through pain for too long. 🤕

While many cases improve with rest, activity modification and physiotherapy, symptoms such as your knee giving way, locking or persistent pain should always be assessed to rule out injuries such as cartilage damage or ligament tears. 💥

For expert assessment and personalised treatment of sports knee injuries and help to return safely to the activities you enjoy, please call New Victoria Hospital to book an appointment:

Fatty liver disease is now the most common liver condition, yet many people don’t realise they have it until routine blood tests or a scan reveal it.

If you’ve been told you have abnormal liver blood tests, have risk factors such as type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol or obesity, or simply want to understand your liver health better, this article is for you.

Dr Sarah Clark, our Consultant in Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Hepatobiliary Medicine, explains fatty liver disease, its symptoms and risk factors, the stages of liver fibrosis, the tests used to investigate it, and how early diagnosis and lifestyle changes can help slow – and in some cases even reverse – liver damage. 👩🏼‍⚕️📋

“Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease is now the most common liver condition, but with early identification, there is a real opportunity to prevent progression.”

Struggling with hand or wrist pain when gripping, lifting or carrying everyday items? ✊

Persistent symptoms such as pain, numbness, tingling or weakness are often dismissed as a minor strain, but they can sometimes indicate an underlying condition that may benefit from specialist assessment.

As the AIG Women's Open shined a spotlight on the demands placed on the hands and wrists during golf, it's a good reminder that repetitive movements can affect anyone – whether you're playing sport, working at a computer, gardening or carrying out everyday tasks. 🤲

If pain, weakness or tingling is affecting your golf swing, work or everyday activities, an early assessment can help identify the cause and guide the most appropriate treatment.
