🏆 🏃 A huge thank you to the 140 runners who represented King's College Hospital Charity at the London Landmarks Half Marathon this Sunday.

The event brought together staff, former patients, and many running in honour of loved ones.

Collectively they raised over £124,000. These funds will go directly towards supporting life-changing care and innovation across our hospitals.

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who ran, donated, or supported the team along the route.

📸 April is , a national campaign dedicated to raising awareness of bowel cancer, promoting early detection, and encouraging people to take part in life-saving screening.

Last week, our Bowel Cancer Screening team held an information stall at the Golden Jubilee Wing at King's College Hospital, sharing cancer information and answering questions.

💬 Mai Torres-Quevedo, Screening Practitioner at King’s, explained: “Bowel cancer screening matters because it can save lives by catching problems early - often before symptoms even appear.

“Bowel cancer remains one of the most common cancers in the UK, but when detected early, it is highly treatable and survival rates are significantly improved. Many people are unaware that bowel cancer screening doesn’t just find cancer—it can stop it from developing.

“Simple, non-invasive tests are available, and it can be done from the comfort of your home. If you’re aged 50 to 74, you will receive your NHS bowel cancer screening kit through the post.

“Through events like this, we aim to make screening information accessible, reduce barriers, and empower people to take control of their health.”

Ahead of on 11 April, we are shining a spotlight on pioneering work taking place at King’s to help people living with Parkinson’s Disease.

💬Dr Mubasher Qamar, Movement Disorder and Neurology Clinical and Research Fellow at King’s College Hospital Parkinson’s Foundation Centre of Excellence, explains: “There is currently no way to cure Parkinson’s Disease, and for people living with the condition, the symptoms gradually worsen over time. Our work is focussed on changing that.

“At King’s College Hospital Parkinson’s Foundation Centre of Excellence, we are proud to be leading cutting-edge clinical research. One of our clinical trials is investigating whether a vaccine style treatment could slow the progression of Parkinson’s. This research is in its early stages, and initial results have suggested that the treatment could help by training the immune system to prevent clumps of a protein called alpha-synuclein forming and damaging brain cells. Ultimately, this could slow down the symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease.

“As well as finding new treatment options for Parkinson’s, my colleagues are exploring how we can ensure the care we provide is truly holistic. Parkinson’s is more than a movement disorder, and our work focuses on motor and non-motor symptoms, cognition, and overall quality of life. Lifestyle interventions, such as ballet and enhanced Tai Chi, can make a huge difference in improving balance, mobility, and well-being, for example.

“This World Parkinson’s Day, our mission remains clear: to transform Parkinson’s care through research, innovation, and collaboration.”

🎉We are celebrating a record-breaking year for liver transplants at King’s.

A total of 277 liver transplants took place at the Trust last year, in what clinicians at King’s believe is the most ever completed by a single centre in the UK during a calendar year.

💙One of our patients who received a liver transplant last year is Hannah (pictured below). She had the life-saving procedure when she was 28 years old.

“My recovery has taken time, but I’m so much better now. I wasn’t able to thank the organ donor who saved my life, but I wouldn’t be here without them, or the incredible staff at King’s who looked after me, and continue to give me amazing care.”

💬Ms Miriam Cortes-Cerisuelo, Liver Transplant Consultant Surgeon and clinical lead for transplant surgery at King’s, said: “My colleagues and I all feel a huge sense of pride and achievement in knowing we have helped more people like Hannah access life-saving treatment. This record number of transplants for our centre is testament to the hard work of our multi-disciplinary teams. This is the result of a huge team effort. More people than ever are currently waiting for a liver transplant, and we will continue to do all we can to make sure we can provide life-saving treatment to those who need it.”
