Some messages stay with us. 💜

Mr Zaid Awad, consultant head and neck surgeon, successfully performed delicate surgery to remove cancerous lymph nodes in the neck, which have spread from melanoma of the lip, a rare and aggressive form of skin cancer.

Hearing feedback from the patient who had an excellent outcome and recovery, and felt reassured, valued and cared for by every member of the team, means a great deal to us all.

“I could not have asked for a nicer way to welcome our first child.”

This Pulmonary Fibrosis Awareness Month, we’re raising awareness of the condition and the importance of recognising the symptoms early.

Breathlessness, a persistent cough and unusual tiredness are easy to put down to getting older or being unfit. But if these symptoms are new or persistent, it’s worth getting them checked.

We asked our consultant respiratory physician, Dr Melissa Wickremasinghe, about the early signs of pulmonary fibrosis, why it can be difficult to diagnose, and the treatment developments giving patients more options than ever before.

I have an allergy, do I need to carry an EpiPen?

In this fifth video in our series, Dr Joshua Gladman, consultant allergist, answers a common question about whether you need to carry an EpiPen for your allergy.

Dr Gladman explains an EpiPen is needed for those who are at risk of anaphylaxis, the most severe type of allergic reaction.

However, not everyone with an allergy diagnosis requires an EpiPen, specialist assessment helps determine the right treatment and advice for each individual.

This Urology Awareness Month, we're highlighting a major breakthrough in prostate cancer treatment.

A major new study led by researchers at Imperial College London and Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust has found that focal therapy for prostate cancer is just as effective as surgery or radiotherapy, with a lower risk of side effects.

Supported by National Institute for Health and Care Research, the 10-year study is the largest of its kind, involving 3,477 men across 14 hospitals in the UK. The findings provide important evidence to support the wider use of focal therapy, helping more men access effective treatment with improved quality of life.

Focal therapy is a targeted treatment that destroys cancer cells within the prostate using carefully directed energy, such as heat, cold or electrical pulses, while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible.

Unlike surgery or radiotherapy, focal therapy offers faster recovery and better preservation of urinary and sexual function, helping patients return to everyday life sooner with fewer side effects.

At Imperial College Healthcare Private Care, we offer three types of focal therapy:

• HIFU (high-intensity focused ultrasound)
• Cryotherapy
• NanoKnife electroporation

Each treatment is tailored to the size and location of a patient's cancer and delivered by our expert team led by Mr Taimur Shah, clinical associate professor and consultant urologist and senior co-author of the study.

As we mark Urology Awareness Month, we're proud to offer this pioneering, less invasive treatment option for men with prostate cancer and to support advances that improve outcomes and quality of life. Find out more via link in bio.

What does a challenge test involve?

In this fourth video in our series, Dr Joshua Gladman answers a common question about what a challenge test involves.

A challenge test follows skin tests and blood tests to see whether you are allergic to a particular food or medication following uncertain results. Dr Josh Gladman explains a challenge test is giving you very small quantities of a food or medication in to measure whether you have a reaction. This test takes place in a clinical environment with specialist doctors and nurses present where you are very closely monitored.
