Today we pause to remember and honour all those who have served and sacrificed in times of conflict.

We are deeply grateful to all members of the Armed Forces, past and present, and to their families for their service.

Lest we forget.

Bespoke, personal care at King Edward VII’s Hospital means encouraging you to support your body with foods that respect its natural rhythms and help you thrive.

As we look towards the cooler heat of September, Gastrointestinal Dietitian, Lucy Kerrison, shares her expert advice on gut-friendly picnic foods:

- Hummus with wholegrain crackers or vegetable sticks: fibre and plant-based protein for a balanced microbiome.
- Lentil or chickpea salad: rich in prebiotic fibre to support resilience.
- Sourdough with smoked salmon: easier to digest, with omega-3s for gut and brain health.
- Mixed berries: high in antioxidants and polyphenols.
- Live yogurt or kefir: calcium and beneficial bacteria for digestive balance.
- Nuts, seeds and dark chocolate: fibre, minerals and polyphenols combined.
- Fermented vegetables: natural sources of live bacteria.

Thoughtful, seasonal choices that allow nutrition to work in harmony with your body.

Navigating the range of medical imaging technologies can seem daunting, so here is a concise guide to the main scanning machines in use today.

CT scan
Best for: Quickly identifying internal injuries, staging cancers and mapping blood vessels.
How it works: The scanner takes a rapid series of X-ray images from different angles and merges them into detailed cross-sectional “slices,” giving a clear view of bone, soft tissue and blood vessels in about 10–20 minutes.

Ultrasound
Best for: First-line assessment of the abdomen, pelvis, pregnancy, muscles, tendons and other soft-tissue concerns.
How it works: A handheld probe sends harmless high-frequency sound waves into the body; the returning echoes are converted into real-time images on a screen. Most examinations take 15 minutes to 1.5 hours and involve no radiation.

MRI
Best for: High-detail imaging of the brain, spine, joints and other soft-tissue structures when fine anatomical detail is essential.
How it works: A powerful magnet and radio-frequency pulses align hydrogen atoms in the body and then detect their signals, producing crisp, layered images without any ionising radiation. Scan times vary with the area examined and the level of detail required.

MRI, CT, ultrasound and X-ray scans can uncover the cause of persistent symptoms, detect injuries you can’t see, monitor ongoing conditions, or even reveal early signs of disease before symptoms appear.

At King Edward VII’s Hospital, our expert radiologists and radiographers combine advanced technology with a calm, dignified experience. And with over 80% of reports delivered within 24 hours, your scan is more than an image - it’s the first step towards answers, an accurate diagnosis, and a treatment plan that’s right for you.
