Today, on World Radiography Day, we celebrate the incredible skill, dedication, and innovation of our radiography teams.

We spoke to Tej Bangay, Head of Imaging Service Line at HCA Healthcare UK, who shared how imaging innovation has transformed the way we care for our patients and how we stay at the forefront of imaging excellence.

“We’re transforming diagnostics through advanced imaging and collaborative care. From MRI and CT to ultrasound and mammography, we provide walk-in and rapid access to a full range of imaging services, with Consultant Radiologists offering fast, accurate reporting. Our multidisciplinary approach ensures that every patient benefits from collective expertise and a seamless journey through diagnosis and treatment.”

“Imaging technology has changed beyond recognition over the years. We’ve moved from traditional film-based X-rays to fully digital systems that shift alone has been transformative. It means faster results, better image quality, and ultimately, better patient outcomes. Advances such as high-resolution CT, MRI, and 3D imaging tools have made diagnostics more precise and efficient than ever before.”

Thank you to all our radiography teams for your incredible dedication, expertise, and compassion you bring to your work everyday đź’™

đź’• We've lit up the hospital in pink to mark breast cancer awareness month.

October is an important time to raise awareness of breast cancer and its symptoms. It’s the most common cancer in the UK and we know that early diagnosis can significantly improve treatment outcomes.

Anyone can get breast cancer so it’s important to check your breasts regularly. This includes checking your armpits too and your chest all the way up to your collar bone.

Things to look out for include:

• A lump in your breast, chest or armpit
• Changes to the colour or texture of the skin on your breast
• Changes to your ni**le, it may appear inverted, or pulled in
• Discharge from your ni**le
• Changes to the shape or size of one or both of your breasts
• Persistent breast pain

If you’ve noticed any changes to your breasts see your GP or a breast specialist without delay.

This Back Care Awareness Week, we wanted to share more about the hidden culprit behind 30% of back pain.

Did you know that in up to 30% of cases of lower back pain it is actually the sacroiliac joint that is to blame? It’s often misdiagnosed. That means many patients may be left struggling with the wrong treatment, and the right diagnosis could have sped up their recovery.

Mr Andraay Leung, Consultant Orthopaedic Spinal Surgeon at The Harborne Hospital, explains why sacroiliac joint pain is so tricky to spot. From pregnancy-related changes to degenerative wear and tear, this joint can cause pain that mimics other back problems - making accurate referral pathways absolutely vital.

Getting the diagnosis right doesn’t just ease pain but it can transform lives.

✨ From months of jaw pain to pain-free living ✨

After nearly two years of living with a painful, stuck jaw, Bevleen found lasting relief through a minimally-invasive TMJ procedure at The Harborne Hospital.

Thanks to the expertise of Consultant Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon, Mr Ross Elledge - one of the few surgeons in the West Midlands offering this specialist keyhole surgery - she’s now sleeping soundly, eating comfortably, and living without pain again.

“I’ve gone from not being able to sleep to now being pain-free. It’s like the issue never occurred.”

🔍 Lymphoma: This blood cancer awareness month we're raising awareness of the different types of blood cancer. We spoke to specialist Dr Salim Shafeek about Lymphoma and the common signs to look out for.

"Lymphoma is the most common type of blood cancer. It affects white blood cells known as lymphocytes, which play an important role in the immune system.

There are two main types of lymphoma known as Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma and Hodgkin Lymphoma. Both present with similar symptoms including painless lumps most commonly in the neck, collarbone, armpit or groin. Other symptoms include frequent recurring infections, fever, sudden or unexplained weight loss or night sweats also known as night drenching – which soak your clothes and bedding.

Treatment outcomes depend on the type and stage of lymphoma you are diagnosed with. But finding lymphoma early can significantly increase the chance of successful treatment outcomes. At The Harborne Hospital we offer fast diagnostic tests and biopsies to help detect lymphoma quickly.

If you are experiencing any new and persistent symptoms make sure you see your GP or a specialist without delay.”

🔍 Leukaemia: This blood cancer awareness month we're raising awareness of the different types of blood cancer. We spoke to specialist Dr Paul Ferguson about Leukaemia and the common signs to look out for.

“Leukaemia is a type of blood cancer that affects the cells in your bone marrow, a spongy tissue inside some of your bones, your bone marrow is also responsible for your blood cell production.

There are different types of leukaemia, these are characterised by which blood cell is affected and how the cancer develops. Some leukaemia’s are chronic (slow growing) and some are acute (fast growing).

Symptoms largely depend on the type of leukaemia but there are some common symptoms to be aware of. These include extreme tiredness known as fatigue, recurrent and persistent infections, unexplained bruising or bleeding, swollen lymph glands or unexplained weight loss. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms it’s important to see your GP without delay as leukaemia, particularly acute leukaemia, requires urgent medical intervention.”
