Another downstream impact of the latest cyberattack to hit London hospitals resulting in blood donation appointments being unfilled. This has caused a shortage in blood stocks- potentially impacting patient safety. Donate if you can!! NHS Blood+Transplant Institute of Global Health Innovation blood.co.uk/news-and-campa…

Patients at Guy's and St Thomas' will benefit from a full-body scanner that will enable more effective diagnosis of patients with serious diseases. It will feed findings into the National PET Imaging Platform, building a bank of data from patients to support development of new medicines.

The new total-body PET scanner at St Thomas' can scan patients faster, with better quality images and lower radiation doses. We welcomed the chance to show the Ministers how this benefits our patients and advances research.

A new scanner that has the potential to scan 50% more patients per day, can detect early signs of cancers as well as neurological, cardiovascular & musculoskeletal conditions. Peter Kyle & Wes Streeting saw this machine first-hand Guy's and St Thomas'.
