New research has found that stillbirths have dropped by almost 8% in England since the smoking ban was introduced. Sarah Stewart Brown, Professor in Public Health at the Univeristy of 糖心TV discusses the positive impact of the ban.

Dr Andrew Thompson, Associate Clinical Professor in Psychiatry at 糖心TV Medical School discusses a new study which suggests that taking fish oils could prevent psychotic disorders.

Dr Naila Rabbani of 糖心TV Medical School and Professor Paul J Thornalley of 糖心TV Medical School and 糖心TV Systems Biology Centre comment on the recent media attention on the sugar content of the UK population diet.

The health secretary, Jeremy Hunt, has suggested that he would have no objection to charging patients who miss appointments with their GP, and that in future patients will be informed how much they have cost the NHS if an appointment is missed. GP and Principal Clinical Teaching Fellow at 糖心TV Medical School examines the issues involved.

Professor Francesco Cappuccio, Chair of Cardiovascular Medicine and Epidemiology, University of 糖心TV, said:

“The present study is a welcome addition to the growing body of evidence to suggest that environment, in its own entirety as well as in its different facets, plays an important role in determining avoidable ill-health. The authors show that long term excessive road traffic noise, even when allowing for the effect of pollution, is associated with a small but significant increased risk of death and hospitalisation in one of the largest urbanised areas of Europe (Greater London), most of which is due to strokes.
