Ever wondered what happens when you get tested for allergies? Our junior doctors, Artie, Nkanyezi, Reeva and Priya, visited the allergy department at The Portland Hospital for Women and Children to find out. They grilled Professor Helen Brough and Clinical Nurse Specialist Mel on all things allergy testing and asked the BIG questions: • What allergies can we test for? • How do we test for them? • Do they hurt?

Over a decade ago HCA Healthcare UK was the first independent provider in the UK to carry out a TAVI procedure. This is a minimally invasive type of cardiac procedure to treat aortic stenosis, which works by replacing a narrowed aortic valve to improve blood flow in the heart. Since then, we’ve continually developed our cardiac services across our hospitals and today we carry out more cardiac procedures than any other independent provider. Earlier this year we extended our cardiac department to The Harborne Hospital, and this week structural heart specialists, Professor Sagar Doshi BSc MBChB FRCP MD FACC and Dr. Adnan Nadir MD FACC FESC, along with our theatre team, carried out the first TAVI procedure at the hospital. “It’s a privilege to be able offer patients access to TAVI and other innovative cardiac procedures at The Harborne Hospital. We were able to carry out the procedure under conscious sedation, rather than general anaesthetic, and the patient was able to go home the next day. "The hybrid theatre here is equipped with the latest technology, and the theatre and nursing team are committed to providing the highest quality of surgical and post-operative care. This means we can carry out both routine and complex procedures. As a consultant it’s very reassuring to know that my patients have access to this level of treatment and care.” Prof Sagar Doshi, Consultant Interventional Cardiologist and TAVI Director.
