April is Bowel Cancer Awareness Month.

Bowel cancer is treatable, especially when diagnosed early. In the UK about 44,100 people get cancer in the large bowel each year...know the symptoms to look out for.

A colonoscopy is the best way to check for bowel cancer and is performed by experts in our purpose-built endoscopy suite.

If required, here at The London Clinic we can also perform:

-Pelvic MRI scan
-Trans-rectal ultrasound scan (TRUS)
-Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) blood test

We were proud to close this week with fantastic news! The London Clinic is now a BSGE accredited endometriosis centre. 💛

Endometriosis impacts over 1.5 million people in the UK. Despite its prevalence, it can take nearly nine years on average to receive a diagnosis.

Patients with endometriosis can rest assured knowing that at our hospital, they’ll receive specialist care from a team of experts, including tailored treatment plans, pain management and support to improve overall quality of life.

Joana De Caldas Gomes, Clinical Nurse Specialist for Gynaecology Benign Surgical, shares: “This accreditation means a great deal to us. We see first-hand how much endometriosis can impact people’s lives, and we’re passionate about offering care that is both expert and compassionate. It’s lovely to have that formally recognised, and for patients to know that they are in safe hands.”

If you’re struggling with symptoms of endometriosis, we’re here to help you get the right diagnosis and treatment. Find out more on our website: bit.ly/4d0nmSk

You might have walked by this artwork at the entrance of our specialist oncology unit at 22 Devonshire Place … but what does it mean?

Entitled ‘Fibonacci Flip and designed by British artist and sculptor Peter Randall-Page, it is based on a common growth pattern in plants called spiral phyllotaxis.

This gift from mother nature creates spirals like those made by the seeds in the head of a sunflower 🌻

We love what this piece represents - reminders of nature’s ability to create order and heal itself 💛

Endometriosis is a common condition where tissue that normally lines your womb starts to grow in other parts of your body.

It is a long-term condition that can cause very painful, heavy periods and can also lead to a lack of energy, depression and fertility problems.

It happens when endometrial cells escape outside the womb and implant themselves in the fallopian tubes, ovaries, bladder, bowel or va**na.

Symptoms include pain in the pelvis, lower back and lower abdomen.

* Other symptoms can include:

* Painful or heavy periods

*Bleeding between periods

*Discomfort while urinating

*Pain during s*xual in*******se

*Fatigue

*Depression

*Trouble falling pregnant

*Psychological problems relating to s*x and relationships

Do you suffer with lower back pain?

At The London Clinic, our expert radiographers and radiologists perform Nociscan MR spectroscopy alongside conventional MRI techniques to gather information on the chemical composition and structural integrity of spinal discs. The London Clinic is currently the only UK provider of Nociscan.

While conventional MRI techniques can provide crucial structural information, they often fall short in pinpointing the actual source of pain – especially in cases of chronic lower back pain.

Nociscan fills this gap by providing detailed insights into the chemical make-up and structural integrity of tissues in the body, particularly within the spine.

Congratulations to Simon Stevens, Consultant Physicist in Medical Physics at The London Clinic, on successfully completing his PhD.

Simon’s thesis draws heavily on work carried out at the Clinic over the past 10 years, highlighting the innovative radiotherapy care we provide every day.

In his role as Consultant Physicist, Simon manages our Radiotherapy Physics team, overseeing a broad range of clinical and technical responsibilities.

“Medical physicists tend to work ‘behind the scenes’ – we perform all the calibration, testing and optimisation required to ensure every patient receives the exact intended dose of radiation to treat their disease while minimising the dose to vulnerable areas to avoid unwanted side effects. I also focus on implementing new treatment techniques to ensure we remain at the forefront of the radiotherapy field,” says Simon.

Funded by the Clinic, Simon’s PhD focused on verification within the radiotherapy pathway, assessing every aspect of the treatment chain, from the algorithms used to plan radiotherapy through to checking the actual doses delivered to our patients. His research has already influenced practice at our hospital, helping to optimise how doses are assessed for each patient.

“Completing my PhD alongside a full-time job involved late nights and long weekends, but the Clinic’s support made it possible.”

Today we join healthcare organisations across the UK in recognising and the incredible work of cancer clinical nurse specialists (CNSs).

These highly skilled professionals provide expert care and support throughout a patient’s cancer journey, coordinating personalised care and addressing both physical and emotional needs.

At The London Clinic, our 17 cancer CNSs exemplify our commitment to truly personalised care. Working closely with our consultants, a dedicated CNS is there for each patient from diagnosis through treatment and into recovery, offering guidance, reassurance and expert support along the way.

With nearly 3.5 million people in the UK living with cancer, the role of a cancer CNS has never been more important.

Has a cancer CNS made a difference in your life? Share your story with us in the comments below.
