Despoina, a fifth-year medical student, recently completed a month-long elective in interventional neuroradiology at Charing Cross Hospital.

Reflecting on her experience, she shared: "The most rewarding part of the elective was seeing procedures I'd previously only learned about in theory being carried out in practice. Alongside observing these interventions, I developed my imaging interpretation skills, deepened my understanding of brain and spinal anatomy, and had the opportunity to contribute to research."

"The experience gave me a much greater appreciation of the pathologies treated through interventional neuroradiology, as well as the precision, patience and attention to detail required in this field."

Despoina is now focused on completing medical school, becoming more involved in clinical research, and continuing to explore the many specialties available to her.

We wish you all the best for the future Despoina! 💙

The walls of St Mary's have witnessed some extraordinary moments.

Dr John Alcindor came to London from Trinidad to study medicine at St Mary's and went on to leave an enduring mark on healthcare and society.

A respected GP, researcher and community leader, he carried out important work on influenza and tuberculosis, cared for wounded servicemen during the First World War, and became a prominent advocate for racial equality as president of the African Progress Union.

Today, a blue plaque in nearby Little Venice commemorates his life and achievements.

The pioneers we're celebrating this month made history at St Mary's.

A new St Mary's Hospital will help inspire the pioneers of tomorrow.

What better way to mark World Sight Day than by showcasing the incredible work taking place at Western Eye Hospital? 👁️

Yesterday we welcomed the Lord Mayor of Westminster, who toured our specialist services, met some of our longest-serving colleagues and learned more about the pioneering research helping to shape the future of eye care.

We were also able to discuss Imperial Health Charity's Western Eye appeal, which is helping to create a calmer, more accessible environment for patients and staff.

Our rheumatology team have won the Team Champions Award at the National Rheumatoid Arthritis Society (NRAS)'s annual awards. Nominated by patients, the award recognises healthcare teams that go above and beyond to deliver exceptional care.

Congratulations to everyone involved 👏🏼

One of the patients who nominated the team, said: “Their care and professionalism is outstanding. My husband died relatively recently, and I was given time and support during consultations to grieve and deal with my arthritis. I have recently been in considerable pain waiting for both a hip and knee replacement and the rheumatology team have implemented measures to help me cope with that. Whether it be medication or telephone consultations, I have felt they care and I am safe.”

Part one: Meet Dr Saira Hameed, the doctor on a mission to demystify our hormones 👋🏼

As a consultant endocrinologist, Saira has spent her career helping people understand how hormones shape our health. Now, she's sharing that knowledge in her new book 'Signals: The Inside Story of Our Hormones'.

Here are her top tips to help your hormones every day:

🥗 Keep your blood sugar steady: Foods high in sugar or heavily processed can cause blood sugar spikes, making your body work harder to produce insulin to clear the excess sugar from your blood. Choose whole, natural and home-cooked foods to help keep blood sugar levels stable.

☀️ Get some Vitamin D: Spending time outdoors helps your body produce Vitamin D, which supports your mood, wellbeing and bone health.

🧘 Manage stress: Cortisol helps regulate your energy and response to stress. Rather than focusing on lowering it, build stress-reducing habits into your day and your cortisol levels will naturally find a healthy balance.
