St Luke's Hospice looks after people in Harrow and Brent whose illnesses are no longer curable. They help and empower them to enjoy the best possible quality of life, knowing their family and carers are supported too. They work in partnership with, and provide education and support to GPs, community teams, nursing homes, and other healthcare professionals to ensure the highest levels of care for patients, whatever the setting. St Luke's was founded by the local community, and 75% of their funding comes from donations.
Episode 217 - Shonella Singh: Best practices to reduce cancer risk
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men. 1 in 8 men will develop cancer in their lifetime. It predominantly affects men over the age of 50 and AGE is one of the biggest risk factors, however the risk becomes higher for those with a family
Dr Amish Lakhani is a Consultant Oncological and Genitourinary Radiologist at Paul Strickland Scanner Centre, Mount Vernon Hospital and Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, and co-lead Whole Body MRI reporter for Measure Health.
We all know that smoking increases the risk of cancer, but it seems there is a blind spot with other ways of inhaling smoke like shisha. Remember its not just the tobacco that is the problem, wherever there is smoke, there are other harmful chemicals
MEN - examine yourselves! We talk a lot about the importance about self- examination of breasts in women and yet, much less is spoken about the importance of self-examination of the testicles in men. Why is that?
Dr Shonella Singh is very knowledgeable, pleasant, courteous and a good listener. She examined me thoroughly and addressed all my health issues giving me enough time to discuss all my concerns. I have never felt so comfortable with any other GP. On my follow up meeting she explained all my results thoroughly and and explicitly with a detailed written report. I highly recommend Measure Health and Dr Shonella Singh to anyone looking for thorough and high-quality care.
Shonella was so attentive and really listened to our health concerns and worries. The entire process was managed so well and I highly recomend her to others. Her level of knowledge and experience is hard to find and her kindness and ongoing care for her patients is outstanding.
