The garden wall project has officially launched! 🌷

Our dedicated Royal Brompton & Harefield Arts team has worked closely with patients to create this stunning garden memorial.

Bringing the community together through art-focused sessions and inspiring visits to the Chelsea Physic Garden this project blossomed into a beautiful mural by artist Melissa Hartley. The design draws inspiration from plants historically known to support lung and heart health.

Co-creation not only results in a breathtaking piece of art but also promotes health and well-being, a core reason why our arts team is so passionate about this initiative.

You can now visit the mural outside the Royal Brompton Hospital’s Sydney Street reception, where it transforms the exterior of our diagnostic centre into a vibrant, welcoming space.

Did you know around 100,000 hernia repair surgeries are performed in the UK every year?

A hernia occurs when part of the body pushes through a weakness in the surrounding muscle or tissue.

When this happens near the belly button, it’s known as an umbilical hernia. It occurs when a portion of the intestine protrudes through the abdominal wall at the umbilical opening. Umbilical hernias can affect both adults and children, and surgery is often recommended to prevent complications.

Royal Brompton Hospital has long been at the forefront of clinical research, patient safety, and specialist training, a tradition that dates back over a century.

Following the discovery of X-rays in 1895, imaging technology became essential in helping clinicians visualise and understand disease within the human body. At Royal Brompton, Dr Stanley Melville, who led the radiology department from 1910 to 1934, emerged as a pioneer in both imaging and radiation safety.

At a time when radiological exposure posed significant risks, Dr Melville implemented some of the world’s earliest protective measures, including shielding and controlled exposure protocols. Dubbed a “radiation martyr” for the personal toll of his work, his innovations were adopted globally and laid the groundwork for modern radiological safety standards.

His legacy is a powerful reminder of Royal Brompton’s enduring commitment to innovation, safety, and medical education.

Using 3D Technology to Transform Cardiac Surgery Planning

Specialist clinical teams are now harnessing the power of advanced 3D imaging and printing to revolutionise how they prepare for complex heart surgeries.

By creating exact, life-sized replicas of a patient’s heart, clinicians can better understand the individual’s unique cardiac anatomy — particularly in cases involving congenital or structural abnormalities.

These 3D-printed models offer a detailed visual and tactile reference, enabling multidisciplinary teams to plan procedures more precisely, anticipate challenges, and reduce risks during surgery.

This innovation marks a significant step towards more personalised, patient-centred care and is already improving outcomes in high-risk and complex cases.

A powerful example of how technology and clinical expertise are working hand in hand to enhance care across the NHS.

Worried about glaucoma? 👁️

Glaucoma often develops without noticeable symptoms until it’s more advanced – by then, vision loss may already have begun. That’s why regular eye check-ups are so important.

With early detection, treatment is far more effective and can help protect your sight.

Glaucoma is a common eye condition that can lead to permanent vision loss if left untreated. Our world-leading ophthalmology consultants at St Thomas’ Hospital offer comprehensive assessments and tailored treatment plans to help preserve your vision.

🎉Happy 77th Birthday to the NHS! 💙🎂

On 5th July 1948, the National Health Service was founded in the UK, becoming the first Western country to offer free healthcare to its entire population. Born from the aftermath of the Second World War, the NHS has been a symbol of hope, compassion, and equality ever since.

We're proud that all income from our private patient service at Guy's and St Thomas' Specialist Care is reinvested into our NHS Trust to support this work.

Everyone working across the NHS plays a vital role in keeping our communities healthy, supporting patients in their time of need, and providing care when it matters most.

We want to say a heartfelt thank you to our incredible team for their unwavering dedication, compassion, and commitment to delivering outstanding care every single day. Here's to 77 years of the NHS and to the people who make it what it is. 💙
