The London Clinic

We recently launched our Summer of Music series at The London Clinic – a six-week event initiative which uses music as therapy and sits within our survivorship programme to support patients with cancer.  These live music sessions bring calm and joy to our Duchess of Devonshire Wing (Cancer Centre), and we’ve had some wonderful feedback from patients and visitors: “I love listening to your melodies. It brings harmony and a smile as soon as you hear it. Thank you. Wonderful choice of music too” “Excellent idea – it was so nice to relax and listen to the music before my appointment.”  “A beautiful and fantastic addition to the healing and wellbeing process.  A great effort – thank you all!” #HealingThroughMusic #SummerofMusic #TheLondonClinic #CancerCare #TherapeuticMusic

Game, set, match! 🎾 We’re excited to share that our very own Sajjad Afzal, The London Clinic’s resident Consultant #Podiatrist, has been at #Wimbledon supporting the athletes with foot and gait related issues (for his third year in a row). Saj was also on-site throughout the qualifying competition and is now stationed at the Wimbledon grounds treating sports injuries, assisting with biomechanics and providing gait analysis. "On the grass courts injuries are commonly associated with the dynamic fast movements and change of direction. Blisters are commonplace and can become an issue for players, so early treatment and prevention is essential. I also see and treat damaged and bruised toenails due to impact trauma which can lead to hematomas under the nail plate – also extremely painful!” 👟 As a big tennis fan himself Saj has had a blast watching all the action. “I feel a massive sense of satisfaction to help these incredibly talented and dedicated players reach their full potential and help them to the goals of their dreams.”

Networking opportunities are essential as they encourage collaboration, leading to more efficient teamwork.  We recently held our summer BBQ for consultants, GPs and secretaries which provided a perfect relaxed environment for colleagues to connect outside of work at a lovely venue at the Royal College of Physicians. It was a fantastic opportunity for us to recognise and celebrate the hard work and achievements of The London Clinic and show appreciation for our colleagues. Events like this also enable the sharing of expertise and best practices within, and across different areas the organisation, improving overall performance.   Thank you to the 150 people who attended and here’s some of the great feedback we received:  “So good to see everyone in a relaxed happy setting” “Thank you very much for providing this event, it is hugely appreciated by the team, myself, and practice managers” "Happy and positive celebration of team”
