📸Until 3pm today, King’s Viral Hepatitis team are at , delivering free testing to the local community.

Kath Oakes, Viral hepatitis CNS Team Lead at King’s, said: “We’re passionate about bringing hepatitis testing closer to the communities who need it most. It’s a privilege to connect with people where they are, build trust, and support early diagnosis and care.”

The initiative is led by the Viral Hepatitis team at King’s, and delivered as part of the Safe STEPS programme — a community sexual health initiative delivered across Lambeth, Southwark and Lewisham in partnership with Caribbean & African Health Network - CAHN.

We're proud to join the programme and expand reach by offering hepatitis B testing, with testing kits funded by King's College Hospital Charity.

🚨🏍️🦴 “What we do is straighten bones, we fix it" - Mr Ibraheim El-Daly, Consultant Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgeon at King’s, on , Netflix.

Episode two of Critical features Jared, who had a serious motorbike accident, colliding with a van on Peckham High Street. He’s rushed to the closest Major Trauma Centre, King’s College Hospital.

💬 Mr Ibraheim, who is operating on Jared's leg, said: “It looks like his bones exploded. And not only exploded, but the fragments are coming through the leg, tearing through the muscle of the skin. Creating what's called an open fracture. This is a serious injury. If this operation doesn’t go well looks like Jared may not be able to walk again.”

Watch as muscles are seen ripped off the bone around his ankle, and the team performs an external scaffold to temporarily hold Jared’s bone out to length, by placing pins and rods in Jared’s leg!

🚨🎢🎡 Fairground ride malfunction on on

11-year-old Silvana and her 57-year-old grandfather, Sebastiano, were rushed to King’s after a fairground ride malfunctioned and a speaker fell towards them. Sebastiano’s immediate response was to stand in front of his granddaughter and push her out of the way to protect her.

Thankfully, both Silvana and her grandfather escaped major injuries, with Sebastiano leaving the hospital with only a nose fracture.

💬 Sebastiano, said:

“When I was there on the floor, I thought it was a nightmare. I said, ‘I’m gonna wake up in a minute.’ My granddaughter was in the queue, and I understood something was wrong. You try to save them, you know. End of the day, I feel lucky, very lucky.”

🩻 Outstanding care by King’s surgeons, who rebuilt the Bishop of Southwark’s face after a road traffic accident.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons at King's rebuilt the Bishop of Southwark’s face after a serious road traffic accident left him with multiple complex fractures.

Following extensive x-rays and scans, Bishop Christopher was found to have broken all his facial bones with exception of his mandible (lower jaw), as well as sustaining soft tissue injuries.

He required urgent surgery from the specialist maxillofacial team – the only surgical speciality capable of treating these complex bone and soft tissue injuries – under the leadership of Professor Kathy Fan, Consultant Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon.
