Our newly refurbished clinic provides direct access to a whole team that is passionate about healthcare delivery.
Our mission is to provide all of our patients with the best available care and the latest information about modern diagnostic and health screening technology in order for everyone to be able to make informed choices and become the centre of their own healthcare.
Experienced consultants who operate across London, Surrey and Hampshire join our faculty to use its unrivalled facilities. Consultants can refer their patients from anywhere, using electronic referral systems, and can view their patient’s results and images from their private rooms, home or, for NHS patients having private tests, their NHS clinics. They can review their patient immediately after a virtual coronary angiogram in our one stop clinics. These unique arrangements are simply not available from any other private hospital providers.
Our friendly administration team are on hand to help you guide your health care pathway at SCVC.

In cardiometabolic medicine, muscle is not a cosmetic tissue but a metabolic organ. Evidence consistently shows that strength, not muscle mass, predicts insulin resistance, cardiovascular risk, and survival. Many older adults are not losing muscle tissue — they are losing muscle function, and that is the pathology that matters.
A 2026 BMJ systematic review confirms that weight regain is the rule after stopping pharmacological weight-management therapy. Across drug classes, most lost weight is regained within 24 months, with parallel loss of metabolic benefit. This reflects biological defence of adiposity, not patient failure.
Medical imaging is the only reliable way to assess true body composition. Weight and smart scales cannot distinguish bone, muscle, or visceral fat. DEXA and low-dose CT provide accurate insight, while home tracking tools support the behavioural change needed to lower visceral fat and long-term cardiometabolic risk.
