A Visionary Legacy 📜❤️
Back in the early 1980s, Dr Paul Strickland OBE (pictured here with our late Patron HRH The Duchess of Kent) had a bold vision to bring advanced scanning technology to patients. Thanks to an incredible public appeal, we opened our doors in 1985. More than four decades later, we are still pushing the boundaries of imaging technology to save and improve lives. Here's to keeping a fantastic legacy alive and kicking! You can support us at https://stricklandscanner.org.uk/donate/

Your liver works hard for you every day, but how often do you check in on it?

It is increasingly common for extra fat to be stored in the liver. While this is often completely symptom-free at first, it is an important area of your health to keep an eye on to maintain your long-term well-being.

While genetics and autoimmune conditions play a role, everyday factors like your physical activity levels, weight, type 2 diabetes, or high blood pressure can also increase the likelihood of a fatty liver developing.

The great news? Understanding your liver health early on puts you in the best position to make positive, effective changes.

At Paul Strickland Scanner Centre, we offer specialised Fatty Liver MRI scans. An MRI is a gentle, highly sensitive, and non-invasive way to accurately measure liver fat. Having a scan can help you and your healthcare team:

Get a clear, accurate baseline of your current liver health.

Confidently track the positive impact of your diet and exercise routines over time.

Monitor the effectiveness of prescribed treatments, including weight management medications.

Take a proactive step in your wellness journey. Find out more about our fatty liver MRI service and how it works here:

With sunny weather forecast for the bank holiday weekend, it's good to remember that May is Melanoma Awareness Month. Melanoma is a serious form of skin cancer that can spread quickly if not detected early and can affect people of any age.
Use the ABCDE checklist to identify potential warning signs:
A – Asymmetrical (is your mole an uneven shape)
B - Border (is the edge irregular and ragged?)
C - Colour (multiple or unusual colours)
D - Diameter (larger than 6mm)
E - Evolving (changing shape, size, or colour)
If you notice any of these changes, please contact your GP practice promptly. Early detection is key.
