🧡 This Myeloma Awareness Week, Dr Prem Mahendra, leading blood cancer expert at The Harborne Hospital, explains how innovative bispecific antibodies can harness your immune system to target cancer, giving new treatment options to people living with Myeloma.

This groundbreaking treatment works by directly targeting both T cells and myeloma cells simultaneously. Bispecific antibodies act as "T cell engagers" - creating a bridge that connects your own T cells directly to myeloma cells so your immune system can recognise and destroy them. With impressive response rates of 60-70%, this targeted immunotherapy is proving to be a game changer for patients who haven't responded to other treatments.

As we approach the end of Skin Cancer Awareness Month we caught up with Dr Ajoy Bardhan, Consultant Dermatologist, to share expert yet simple advice on how to protect your skin and stay safe in the sun.

“Reducing your risk of skin cancer is simple but essential: it is important to check your moles regularly and to practise sun safety every day,” says Dr Bardhan. “Some top tips include using broad-spectrum SPF 30+, even on cloudy days. If you're spending time outdoors, reapply sunscreen every two hours and don’t forget to wear protective clothing, a hat, and UV-blocking sunglasses. Most importantly, check your skin monthly for any new, changing moles or non-healing lesions.”

If you've noticed any changes to your skin or are concerned about a mole you can book an appointment with Dr Bardhan: https://www.hcahealthcare.co.uk/finder/stepconsultantprofile/ajoy-bardhan

We have now launched heart health checks at The Harborne Hospital!

“I cannot stress enough the importance of regular heart health checks. Heart disease often develops silently, without obvious symptoms, until a major event like a heart attack or stroke occurs. By monitoring key indicators such as blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and heart rhythm, we can identify risks early and take proactive steps to prevent serious complications. The sooner we detect a problem, the more options we have to treat it - giving you the best chance at a healthier life.” Dr Sudhakar George, Consultant Interventional Cardiologist.

We stopped by the Endoscopy department and spoke to Richard Fidoe, Endoscopy Lead, here at The Harborne Hospital, to find out more about how endoscopy can help diagnose bowel cancer.

"Endoscopy plays a vital role in diagnosing bowel cancer at its earliest, most treatable stage. Through a procedure called a colonoscopy, we can look for any precancerous growths called polyps, or any other abnormalities to your bowel, identifying and treating any issues before they develop further. If you’re experiencing any bowel related symptoms, then a colonoscopy allows us to take a closer look at what may be causing them."

Who should have a colonoscopy?
✔️If you're over 45 (or younger with a family history of bowel cancer), then a colonoscopy can be used to screen for any irregularities.
✔️If you have persistent bowel changes, blood in your stool, or unexplained weight loss, then a colonoscopy can help us to identify what is causing these symptoms.

“For Julia, acting quickly was critically important. The MRI scan showed that the tumour was very close to key liver structures. If it had grown further, it could have penetrated or encircled these structures, requiring a much more complex, riskier procedure. In the worst case, her cancer may have become inoperable.” - Mr Nikolaos Chatzizacharias, Consultant HPB Surgeon at The Harborne Hospital.

When Julia was diagnosed with secondary liver cancer she was faced with a 13 week wait for surgery. Knowing she needed to act quickly Julia decided to transfer her care to The Harborne Hospital, where specialists Mr Nikolaos Chatzizacharias and Dr Mohammed Arshad, along with the theatre team carried out surgery.

Julia’s operation was a success, the cancer was completely removed and, after a short stay in ITU, both Julia and her liver have made a full recovery.

⭐️ Today is National Cancer Clinical Nurse Specialist Day and we caught up with Grace Meredith, Breast Cancer CNS, here at The Harborne Hospital to find out what she loves most about her job.

“Being a CNS is such a privilege, I get to care for people at one of the most difficult times of their lives. I’m here to help them understand their treatment options, coordinate their care and provide both emotional and practical support in navigating life with cancer. The thing I love most is getting to know the individual person behind every diagnosis, their fears and hopes, their individual needs and the things that matter most to them. I can then make sure their care plan aligns to all of this, making it as personal and effective as possible.”

We want to say a huge thank you to Grace and our CNS team for their commitment to improving the lives of people affected by cancer. We’re so proud of the care you provide!

We are incredibly proud to offer the most complex care to our patients, supported by our onsite level three ITU. Today we caught up with Mohammad Abou Laila to find out why he became an ITU nurse.

“I’ve always wanted to be a nurse, to help make a difference to people’s lives when they need us the most. As an ITU nurse we’re privileged to care for patients when they need the highest level of care. Sometimes this might be a short stay, and other times for a longer period of time. Either way it’s incredibly rewarding to be part of people’s recovery.”
