As President Trump arrives for his State Visit, farmers and milk processors are warning that allowing US dairy producers access to our markets could potentially threaten the financial viability of the UK industry. The National Farmers Union's Dairy Board Chair says the US dairy industry has made no secret of its ambitions to break into the lucrative UK market and has exportable surplus to spare. The NFU and Dairy UK have written to the Prime Minister, demanding that food and animal welfare standards are a red line in future negotiations. We continue our look at services in rural areas with a visit to a voluntary organisation connecting people to health and social care provision in the Highlands, as well as combatting loneliness. We hear from the Nuffield Trust about the extra cost challenges for health providers in rural areas.Presenter: Anna Hill Producer: Sarah Swadling

On Thursday 11 September, at Herne Farm Leisure Centre on Moggs Mead, a range of health services for people with a learning disability were promoted. People with a learning disability still experience health inequalities and an effort is being made to close this gap with supporting services, that are easy to contact and communicate with. Speaking to Mike Waddington are the NHS Learning Disability Nurses Amy George and Marta Coates - also professionals from physiotherapy, diabetes (with Diabetes Barbie), the ambulance service, and sexual and reproductive health, many of which use Makaton, a simpler version of British Sign Language. Other groups like Gloji help with diet, exercise and stopping smoking -- see Gloji - Digital Weight Management One group is Love4Life, which combats loneliness with social activities and even helps people find love if that's what they are looking for (they chaperone dates.) They also need more volunteers too.

A new digital health service is being praised, but one doctor believes it's doing more harm than good. More than 21 thousand consultations have been delivered through the 24/7 online scheme, which launched in July. Health Minister Simeon Brown says it gives Kiwis faster access to care when usual GPs are unavailable. Despite views it's easing pressure on the health system, General Practice Association Chair Angus Chambers told Mike Hosking it hasn't made any difference to staffing issues. He says it's making problems worse as it's taking doctors away from providing care for people in clinics. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us a textIn this episode of Causes or Cures, Dr. Eeks chats with Dr. Irene Papanicolas, Professor of Health Services, Policy and Practice at Brown University, about her recent New England Journal of Medicine paper examining the links between wealth and mortality across the United States and Europe.There's a lot of focus on longevity today, from biohackers chasing longer lives to new medical innovations. But how much does the money in your bank account matter when it comes to lifespan? And why do those relationships between wealth and health look different across countries?The study analyzed data from over 73,000 adults, exploring how wealth impacts lifespan within and across countries, including comparisons between the wealthiest and poorest quartiles, the concept of a “survivor effect,” and why even wealthy Americans may be dying earlier than poorer Europeans.We discuss:How “wealth” was defined in the study.The differences in life expectancy between the U.S. and Europe.What factors might explain why U.S. outcomes lag (diet, food environment, culture, lack of universal healthcare).Which European countries stood out for protecting longevity.Policy implications, and what interventions could have the biggest impact if implemented tomorrow. Read the full paper here: NEJM: Wealth, Mortality, and the U.S.–Europe GapIf you're curious about the intersections of wealth, health, and longevity, and want to understand what money can (and can't) buy when it comes to living longer, this episode is for you. Dr. Irene Papanicolas is a Professor of Health Services Policy and Practice at Brown University. A health economist and researcher, her work focuses on assessing how health systems perform and using international comparisons to inform policy. She leads the International Collaborative on Costs, Outcomes and Needs in Care (ICCONIC), a 16-country partnership studying care patterns and outcomes for high-need, high-cost patients.

Happy Hump Day, yo! Got some REALLY nice weather in front of us with high temps in the upper-60's this weekend. I'm so ready for summer to be over. I hate the heat. We started things off this morning with an update on the Powerball jackpot, and a warning from the Wisconsin Department of Health Service about a possible measles exposure at a couple of travel plazas. Also in the news this morning, a second person has been arrested & charged in a child torture case in Winona, and the FDA is investigating some radioactive shrimp at Walmart! In sports, the Brewers lost both games to the Cubs yesterday, a look at the NFL's final week of preseason football, John Wall calls it a career, and Sophie Cunningham is done for the season. Elsewhere in sports, boxer Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. gets deported & arrested, a well-known gymnastics coach has been charged with possession of child pornography, and Shaq might be in a celebrity boxing match with Will Smith's former bodyguard. We let you know what's on TV today/tonight and we also talked about the upcoming "Home Improvement" reunion on Tim Allen's new series. Crazy story about a woman in Texas who is a quadruple who just gave birth to quintuplets! And check out this story about a school district in Pennsylvania that's using 3D-printed violins to save money and inspire kids. Are you feeling like you get dumber & dumber by the day? Here's four reasons why that might be happening. A recent survey found that 21% of men get anxious about getting their hair cut. And a look at some of the lowest-paying jobs in America. Have you seen the Colts new pretzel? It's got a very distinct appearance.

Health New Zealand's changing up hospital cafe menus in the name of a good diet. Its fresh National Food and Drink policy reduces processed foods, and the portion sizes for things like slices and scones. Food will need lower saturated fats and added sugar - examples include skinless chicken and fish. Public Health Service Director Doctor Nick Chamberlain says it would be a bad look if hospitals didn't have healthy food guidelines. Chamberlain says they're trying to provide guidance, which still gives a huge amount of choice. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us a textToday's guest speaker is Chrissa Karagiannis, a fourth year medical student at Touro California College of Osteopathic Medicine, who is currently in the thick of the residency application and interview process for Family Medicine. In today's episode, Chrissa will share with us her experience participating in the National Health Service Corps Scholarship Program, as an excellent way for students interested in primary care specialties to alleviate the financial burdens of becoming a physician. Chrissa will share her journey to osteopathic medical school, and her passion for working with underserved populations, specifically in overdose prevention. Chrissa will share her involvement with SOMA's Overdose Prevention Committee, and her experience with the AACOM Health Policy Internship, advocating for vulnerable populations and focusing on education for overdose training. Ultimately, I was inspired by Chrissa's passion for advocacy and service with the opioid crisis, and I know you will enjoy this episode as much as we did.

Tune in as Glenn Hunzinger, PwC's Health Industries Leader, sits down with Nicole Montgomery, Shannon O'Shea, and Phil Sclafani to unpack the sweeping implications of the newly signed One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA). With nearly a third of the bill dedicated to healthcare, the team explores how this landmark legislation will reshape coverage, funding, and delivery across the payer, provider, and pharma landscape.Discussion highlights:The OBBBA introduces new work requirements and eligibility rules that could lead to coverage loss for over 13 million people, placing new burdens on payers and statesProviders face increased uncompensated care, especially in rural areas, with added administrative complexity and a push toward technology and alternative care modelsPayers are bracing for membership loss, reduced Medicaid funding, and increased administrative load as new eligibility rules take effectPharma may see reduced demand from public programs but gains through an orphan drug exemption and incentives for domestic manufacturingThe bill's sweeping changes will disrupt healthcare, but with foresight, organizations can model financial impact, prepare for operational disruption, and plan strategic responsesSpeakers:Glenn Hunzinger (host), Health Industries Leader, PwCShannon O'Shea, Principal, Health Transformation, Provider Clinical Transformation, PwCPhil Scalfani, Principal, Customer Transformation, Pharmaceutical & Life Sciences, PwCNichole Montgomery, Principal, Health Transformation, Health Services, PwCLinked Materials:https://www.pwc.com/us/en/industries/health-industries/library/impact-of-obbba-on-us-health-system.html https://www.pwc.com/us/en/industries/health-industries/health-policy-and-intelligence-institute.htmlFor more information, please visit us at: https://www.pwc.com/us/en/industries/health-industries/health-research-institute/next-in-health-podcast.html.

In dieser Folge von Kassenzone spricht Karo Junker de Neui mit Sebastian Kebbe, Geschäftsführer bei Beurer. Das Traditionsunternehmen aus Ulm steht seit über 100 Jahren für (elektronische) Gesundheits- und Wohlfühlprodukte, von Blutdruckmessgeräten bis hin zu Massagegeräten, Heizkissen und bald sogar Zahnbürsten sowie Haustierzubehör. Sebastian gibt tiefe Einblicke in die beeindruckende Breite des Beurer-Sortiments (über 1.700 Produkte), die internationale Marktpräsenz in 140 Ländern und das organische Wachstum durch kontinuierliche Produktentwicklung. Besonders beeindruckend ist dabei, dass Beurer nicht nur Markenhersteller fungiert, sondern mit fünf eigenen Werken (u. a. in Europa und Asien) die komplette Wertschöpfungskette besitzt. Ein strategischer Vorteil im Kampf um Resilienz, Qualität und Margenstabilität gegenüber Billigkonkurrenz wie Temu. Im Gespräch geht es auch um die Rolle von E-Commerce. Rund 60 % des Umsatzes laufen mittlerweile online, mit Amazon als wichtigstem Kanal. Gleichzeitig investiert Beurer gezielt in D2C, Social Media und Content, u. a. mit einem TikTok-Shop und wachsendem Fokus auf CRM und Markenbindung über Connected Devices und Health-Services. Neue Wachstumstreiber sind außerdem schon in den Startlöchern. Neben Zahnpflegeprodukten wird mit „Love Your Pet by Beurer“ eine neue Marke für Petcare-Produkte gelauncht. Auch Themen wie internationale Expansion, Markenbildung über TV und Social Media sowie die Weiterentwicklung des Beurer-Claims stehen im Zentrum. Ein spannender Blick hinter die Kulissen eines Traditionsunternehmens, der zeigt, wie man sich im Wellbeing-Segment zukunftsfähig und kundennah positioniert.

Slender Man Stabbing Accomplice Approved for Conditional Release from Mental Hospital After More Than a Decade A Wisconsin woman who nearly killed a classmate at age 12 in an infamous attack inspired by the fictional character Slender Man will be conditionally released from a psychiatric hospital more than a decade later, a judge ruled Thursday. Morgan Geyser, now 22, has been confined to the Winnebago Mental Health Institute since she was found not criminally responsible for the 2014 stabbing of her friend, Payton Leutner, in Waukesha, Wisconsin. On Thursday, Waukesha County Circuit Judge Scott Wagner signed off on a new conditional release plan developed by the Department of Health Services. The plan comes after an earlier version was rejected in April over concerns raised by Leutner's family, including that Geyser's proposed group home was located just eight miles from Leutner's residence. The exact details and timing of Geyser's release have not been made public for safety and privacy reasons. Her attorney did not immediately respond to requests for comment. On May 31, 2014, Geyser and her friend Anissa Weier, both 12 at the time, lured Leutner into the woods at David's Park following a sleepover. There, Geyser stabbed Leutner 19 times with a kitchen knife while Weier encouraged her. One of the stab wounds narrowly missed Leutner's heart. Severely injured, Leutner managed to crawl to a nearby bike path where a passerby found her and called for help. She miraculously survived the attack after emergency surgery and weeks of recovery. The motive, according to investigators, was chilling: Geyser and Weier believed that murdering Leutner would please Slender Man, a fictional internet character, and prove themselves worthy to become his “proxies.” They feared that if they didn't comply, Slender Man would harm their families. After the stabbing, the two girls began walking toward northern Wisconsin, claiming they were trying to find Slender Man's mansion, which they believed was in the Nicolet National Forest. They were arrested hours later on Interstate 94 in nearby Waukesha County. In 2017, Geyser pleaded guilty to attempted first-degree intentional homicide as a party to a crime but was found not criminally responsible due to mental illness. In 2018, she was committed to the Winnebago Mental Health Institute for up to 40 years. Weier also pleaded guilty in 2017 to attempted second-degree intentional homicide with a deadly weapon and was sentenced to 25 years in a mental health facility. She was conditionally released in 2021, agreeing to live with her father and wear a GPS monitor. Prosecutors and state health officials initially opposed Geyser's release. In March 2024, they cited concerning behavior, including her reading a novel involving murder and organ trafficking and communicating with a man known to collect “murderabilia.” Geyser reportedly sent him a graphic sketch and a suggestive postcard. However, her defense attorney countered that her reading materials were approved by staff and that her communication with the man had ceased after she learned he was selling items she had sent. The presiding judge at the time, Judge Michael Bohren, concluded she wasn't concealing anything and allowed the release planning to proceed. Judge Wagner assumed the case after Bohren retired in April. Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Indian Health Service (IHS) remains largely misunderstood by those not directly connected to it, and often derided as a bureaucratic and confusing system by those who are. IHS marks its 70th anniversary, providing care to all Native citizens. Of course, the agency's history is also documented in the hundreds of treaties over almost 200 years in which the U.S. Government explicitly signed on to its responsibility. We'll trace the history of IHS from the first immunizations to Public Law 638, and chart its future amid a major reassessment of federal government services.
