  • Microsuction Earwax Removal Service Launched | KCL NHS HC

    Microsuction Earwax Removal Service Launched Microsuction Earwax Removal Service Launched Ear microsuction now available to our patients < Back Microsuction Earwax Removal Service Launched King's College NHS Health Centre 15 Aug 2025 Ear microsuction now available to our patients We are now offering private ear microsuction service to our patients who have the need for wax removal. This will be a 30-minute appointment with our Practice Nurse at a cost of £45. A sneak peek of our microsuction device Microsuction is a safe method to remove earwax and clean the ear without using any water. The specialist suction device works similarly to a vacuum cleaner where it goes into the ear canal and gently sucks out any wax build-up. It is a quick and easy procedure. For our registered patients who would like to access the microsuction service, you will need to first have an examination of your ear by our Practice Nurse or GP; please complete a PATCHS consultation form to request this. (The initial examination appointment will be covered by the NHS.) Go to Appointments to find out how to do PATCHS. We are running the service at a highly competitive price compared to private high-street services, plus you will get the benefit of having NHS care for your ear all at one site. For information and advice on earwax, see: Earwax build-up - NHS and Microsuction - Overview | Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust Previous Next

Telling us about your experience means that we can better understand what is important to you, what we are doing well and where we need to make improvements. If you have a moment, please share your feedback with a Google Review or on our NHS Choices page. APPOINTMENTS ''I've always had fantastic service and treatment from the KCL NHS staff. The nurses and GPs are always attentive, patient and considerate when listening to my concerns and working to find a comfortable solution. From routine vaccinations to sexual health screenings, the staff are always professional and helpful in keeping me informed about the routine and what to expect, and answering any questions I may have. I would recommend taking advantage of all the services offered, and rest assured that you're in great hands.'' Barrise G. MENTAL HEALTH CLINIC '' First and foremost, I would like to thank Dr. Park for continuously supporting me, listening to my problems and needs and always recommending resources and help. I had a couple of hard years, and if it wasn't for Dr. Park, I don't know what I would do. Because of the resources and help Dr. Park provided, I learned that there are services and help in the community that helped to make my situation a little easier. Especially, during the COVID times, I appreciate Dr. Park's always asking me how she can help. Thank you, Dr. Park for your continuous hard work and support.'' Anonymous EATING DISORDER CLINIC ''I found the assessment and referral process very relieving. I had fears going into the assessment, having had several bad/ unhelpful experiences with referrals and doctor's diagnosis's before. But as a specialist, not just a normal GP Michelle was the perfect person to see/ make a referral. She made me feel at ease and didn't discredit my illness based on my size or the fact that I'm not in the worst possible place I could be. She made me feel valued and like I deserved to receive help. The referral was made really quickly and I was very impressed by the speed and organisation with which it has all been done. She also reassured me that I could go to her in the interim before receiving treatment which was really nice and helped me to feel that I had someone to go to if I was having any difficulties. In the past I have not experienced this so this support meant a lot to me.'' Anonymous SMEAR TEST '' Getting a smear test isn’t always the most comfortable procedure to get done, but the staff at the Kings College NHS Health Centre were so welcoming and made it all very comfortable! Scheduling with them is so easy and the text reminders are great. I’m happy I have a service that helps me look after my cervical health and allows me to ask any questions and provide lots of information on any medical queries I have! '' LISA S.

  • Migraine Awareness and University Life | KCL NHS HC

    Migraine Awareness and University Life Migraine Awareness and University Life Hear from migraine specialists on symptom management at university < Back Migraine Awareness and University Life King's College NHS Health Centre 7 Oct 2025 Hear from migraine specialists on symptom management at university Did you know that about 1 in 7 people experience migraine attacks regularly in the UK? This is around 10 million people, which is more than the number of people living with diabetes, epilepsy and asthma combined[1]. Despite being a prevalent condition, there remains a lot of myths around migraine. The National Migraine Centre conducted a survey this year and found that some common misunderstandings among survey participants are[2]: 71% characterised migraine as merely a ‘bad headache’ 88 % believed a headache is always present during an attack, despite many experiencing migraine without head pain 96% did not know that abdominal pain or stomach upset can be a migraine symptom 23% didn’t know migraine can be legally classed as a disability, and 54% were unsure So what is migraine? It is a neurological disorder where the nerves in your brain become over-stimulated and cause a cascade of chemicals to be released. Whilst throbbing ache on one side of the head is a common feature, migraine comes with a collection of varying symptoms. To name a few : Nausea or vomiting Sensitivity to light, noise, movement, or smell Visual disturbances, or "aura", for example: seeing flashing or flickering lights or zigzag patterns Muscle weakness or numbness Brain fog, speech difficulties, and other cognitive difficulties Plus, a migraine "attack" often happens in stages and can last from hours to days from beginning to recovery[3]. See a GP if you experience migraine symptoms. Treatment for migraine includes medicines[4], such as painkillers, Triptans and anti-sickness medications, as well as lifestyle management, where you and your doctor work on identifying and managing your migraine triggers. For example, some people experience migraine attacks more frequently when their blood sugar level drops, which means skipping meals would be their trigger, so it would be helpful to eat at regular intervals to manage the symptom[5]. For King's students, if you have a migraine diagnosis and need support for your academic learning, you can contact the University's Disability & Inclusion Support to discuss your needs. The University has a guide: KA-02154 · Student Services Online ( kcl.ac.uk ) on the adjustments and support provisions for students with a disability or long-term health condition. Bonus points, listen to the migraine specialists from the National Migraine Centre, Dr Jessica Briscoe, Dr. Katy Munro and Professor Paul Booton, discuss good practices to manage migraine at university: And treat yourself to a brief guided relaxation session with retired GP Ann Williamson: References: The Migraine Trust Report TMT-Heading-In-The-Wrong-Direction-2023-FINAL.pdf ( migrainetrust.org ) Migraine Awareness Week 2025 - National Migraine Centre What is migraine? - National Migraine Centre Migraine - NHS ( www.nhs.uk ) Migraine triggers - National Migraine Centre Previous Next

  • Get Your Free Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR) Vaccination | KCL NHS HC

    Get Your Free Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR) Vaccination Get Your Free Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR) Vaccination Protect yourself from the surging measles cases < Back Get Your Free Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR) Vaccination King's College NHS Health Centre 21 Oct 2025 Protect yourself from the surging measles cases Measles is back, stronger than a 90s trend. Worldwide cases have surged to new record high. According to data, 2024 saw 127,350 cases across Europe, which is double the number compared to 2023 figures and the highest number for more than 25 years [1]. Measles is caused by a highly contagious virus that infects the respiratory tract and spreads throughout the body. It is spread when an infected person breathes, coughs or sneezes. It can cause serious complications such as blindness, pneumonia, encephalitis ( https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/encephalitis/ ), which can be fatal. The measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) vaccine is the safest way to protect you from the illnesses. It is given in two doses and offers life-long protection. The MMR vaccine can be given at any age. If you never had the MMR vaccine, missed a dose, or do not remember if you are fully vaccinated, don't panic — you can contact us to arrange a vaccine catch up and it is free. Our registered patients can book a MMR vaccine appointment by phone, or submit a PATCHS request, see: Appointments In case you were wondering, no, the MMR vaccine is not linked to autism. Research has shown there is no link between the MMR vaccine and autism. See NHS website for full details: MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccine - NHS ( www.nhs.uk ) and Measles - NHS Reference [1] Measles cases are still high – here’s what can be done | World Economic Forum ( weforum.org ) Previous Next
