Exploring Health Checks That Could Save Your Life (Part 2) - Dr Simon Hodes, Dr John Whitaker and Dr Umasuthan Srirangalingam

In this episode of Exploring Health with Cleveland Clinic London, host Mr Kash Akhtar, consultant orthopaedic knee surgeon, continues his conversation with our guest about health checks that could save your life. Dr Simon Hodes, a general practitioner at Cleveland Clinic London with a focus on men’s health, preventative medicine, and health screening, shares practical insights from primary care. Dr John Whitaker, consultant cardiologist and cardiac electrophysiologist, specialises in heart rhythm disorders, atrial fibrillation, and cardiac risk assessment. Dr Umasuthan Srirangalingam, consultant physician in endocrinology and diabetes, brings expertise in diabetes, thyroid, and hormonal health.

They continue to explore key health checks that can detect serious conditions - such as high blood pressure, cholesterol issues, atrial fibrillation, diabetes, and thyroid disorders - often long before symptoms appear. The discussion covers what to check, when to check it, and why early detection and prevention remain some of the most powerful tools in medicine. Whether you are proactive about your own health, supporting someone you care for, or working in healthcare, this episode provides practical guidance and expert insights to help you understand, monitor, and act on your health risks.
