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.

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.
When people think about cholesterol, they often imagine it as something floating in the blood, disconnected from body fat. In reality, the type and location of body fat — particularly visceral fat (VAT) — profoundly influence how the liver packages and clears cholesterol. Raised VAT doesn’t just sit silently around the organs; it acts like an endocrine organ, sending chemical distress signals that shift lipid metabolism in an atherogenic direction.
Menopause often brings a hidden shift in fat storage—from hips to abdomen—driven by falling oestrogen and loss of muscle. This article explains why visceral fat matters more than weight, how simple screening can detect risk early, and how HRT, lifestyle change, and modern tools can protect long-term heart and metabolic health.
N-of-1 medicine shifts the focus from population averages to personal biology. This blog series explores how individuals can run simple, safe self-experiments — using themselves as the control — to test plausible health hypotheses, track meaningful outcomes, and discover what genuinely improves their own health and wellbeing over time.
