It's theatre company 4PLAY's first Edinburgh Fringe Festival production and Ruaraidh details not only the play, but the work of 4PLAY as well.Connor McKenna is the writer/performer behind one-man show Seltzer Boy and he details the inspiration behind it, and the themes he wanted to explore. He also discusses some of the differences he has found between eating and drinking in his native America and his now home of Scotland.These podcasts are always a joy to record and get just a taste of what's happening in Edinburgh this August, and we hope these discussions about three very different shows get you in the mood for this year's Fringe.Full details, including all the ways to listen, are over at scotswhayhae.com

Professor Gillian Leng, President of the Royal Society of Medicine was asked to carry out an independent review into the role of physician and anaesthetic associates. She sits down with Kamran Abbasi, editor in chief of The BMJ, to discuss her findings. In the UK, the rollout of physician associates, NHS staff who took on some of the tasks of doctors, has been both haphazard and controversial. Originally copied from similar roles in the U.S., British PAs were introduced in the early 2000s. The level of clinical responsibility they were asked to take on began to vary around the country, driven mostly by the workforce needs of individual Trusts. The lack of clarity about their roles lead to disquiet with doctors, worry for patients, and an increasingly toxic debate on social media. 01.00 What is the Leng Review? 10:00 Recommendation one: Renaming 14:00 Recommendation two: Easier identification 16:00 Recommendation three: How to work? 20:00 Recommendation four: Diagnosis 25:00 Recommendation five: Oversight & Regulation 32:00 Prescribing and ordering ionizing radiation? 40:00 A failure of workforce planning and vision ? 49:00 The NHS 10 year plan

The doctors' union, the British Medical Association, is calling for a pay rise of 29.2% to reverse "pay erosion" since 2008/09. The government has offered 5.4%. In previous strikes, around 1.5 million appointments were cancelled or rescheduled, but this time hospitals have been told to cancel non-urgent work only in "exceptional circumstances".  In today's episode, Niall Paterson talks to Sky's health correspondent Ashish Joshi about how the NHS will deal with the walkout and also to resident doctor Bhasha Mukherjee about why she voted for strike action.  Producer: Emily Hulme Editor: Wendy Parker

With nearly 40 years of NHS experience and a decade dedicated to hormone health, Dr. Rockwell brings clarity, compassion, and deep clinical wisdom to a topic that so many women still feel dismissed or confused about.I put a call out to my community to ask what they really wanted to know about menopause—and Dr Susie does a fantastic job answering your questions.

Sir Jeremy Hunt was the Chancellor of the Exchequer tasked with fixing the crisis created by the Mini Budget under Prime Minister Liz Truss. Before that he was Foreign Secretary, the longest serving Health Secretary in British history, and the Secretary of State in charge of the 2012 London Olympics. Here he reflects on his time as Chancellor and the decisions he made, the pressures of the job, his dispute with doctors when in charge of the NHS, and gives his views of Rachel Reeves' handling of the economy, the importance of welfare reform, the cost of pensions, his commitment to lower taxes, the need to control migration to the UK, Starmer's chances of reforming the ECHR, the chances of a Tory recovery, and explains his love of running. Hunt's book, Can We Be Great Again? Why a Dangerous World Needs Britain, is out now. 

This week, we're looking at why the first ten minutes after you wake up might matter more than anything else for how the rest of your day unfolds. From quick morning rituals to simple shifts that keep you steady, we break down what actually helps. We also get into England's huge new 10-year NHS plan. With life expectancy flatlining and more people getting sick earlier, the government is promising a major overhaul — shifting from treating sickness to preventing it. We look at their ambitious goals, from tackling obesity and smoking to new rules on junk food and air quality, and ask whether it really goes far enough. Then we dive into the worrying story behind children's sleep gummies that turned out to contain undeclared melatonin. It's raised serious concerns about how unregulated the supplement industry still is, especially when it comes to products aimed at kids. Elsewhere, we explore why some common foods can behave like drugs in the body when you have too much. Think black licorice, poppy seeds and even Brazil nuts — all a reminder of how thin the line can be between food and pharmacology. And finally, we answer your listener question on organic. Is it genuinely better for your health, or is simply eating more fruits and veggies, no matter how they're grown, what really counts? If you're enjoying the show, please hit follow and leave us a review. We'd love to hear your thoughts or questions too!

This week, Richard Graves is joined by returning guest Andrew Hyde, a leading strength and conditioning coach and founder of Aesthetic Athletes, who works with elite and youth footballers across the UK. With professional clubs identifying talent as young as six, and social media raising the stakes for young athletes, is youth football facing a crisis? Or just a complex new challenge?

At the recent National Enterprise Awards, Monaghan based health tech start-up, Spryt was crowned as the overall winner. I caught up with Neill Dunwoody one of Spryt's co-founders.Neill talks about his background, what Spryt does, patient experience as a service, fixing bottlenecks and more.More about Spryt:Spryt was founded by Neill Dunwoody and Daragh Donohue, and was inspired when a friend of theirs, sadly died after missing vital hospital appointments. The current healthcare access model is rigid and unresponsive, forcing patients to adapt to an inflexible system. In the United States alone, $1 Trillion is spent annually on inefficient scheduling and billing, perpetuating a system that fails patients and payers/providers.Spryt is transforming the way healthcare providers communicate with patients through its innovative AI-powered ‘virtual receptionist' platform. Designed to reduce missed appointments and enhance patient engagement, Spryt automates appointment reminders, follow-ups, and patient messaging via WhatsApp, SMS, and RCS, all while integrating with existing systems.The solution has already been adopted by a growing number of GPs, clinics, and hospitals across Ireland and by the NHS in the UK (260% increase in patient engagement versus traditional methods). By helping practices cut no-show rates, streamline communication, and free up administrative resources,Spryt is making a positive impact on healthcare delivery at a reduced cost of traditional systems and is removing 80-90% of the admin burden. Now preparing for expansion into the UK, US and wider EU markets, the company's goal is to become the default digital front door for healthcare providers across Europe.

July 16, 2025. Week 29. What is a natural history study (NHS)?  And why do we care? We care because we haven't done this before, heal those born with disease. Natural history studies, which examine the progression of a disease over time, can be either retrospective or prospective. Retrospective studies analyze existing data, like medical records, while prospective studies collect new data over time. Both types are valuable for understanding a disease's course and informing research and treatment strategies. ⁠NHS are critical for clinical trial design.  Size and Quality matter.  Validated scales are better than PROs regardless of what the current rhetoric is. What's going on now? USA - https://curesyngap1.org/resources/studies/syngap1-ProMMiS/ - 135+ over three sites, some with FOUR visits, and counting - Adding GCP - Collaborating with world class institutions and excellent clinicians at Stanford, Children's Colorado and, of course, CHOP. USA - https://Citizen.Health/partners/srf has almost 300 patients! Retrospective Health Data. USA - https://rare-x.org/syngap1/ is where we collect PROs. Australia - Dr. Sheffer is running a study, talk to her or Dani. Latin America - SYNGAP1 Argentina with others joining. Europe - https://www.patre.info/syngap1/  Key takeaways for Industry SYNGAP1 is well positioned to work with… Vlasskamp and Wiltrout are published, Citizen Health is growing & ProMMiS is truly exceptional – and growing, and Rare-X is collecting eight key PROs.   Additionally, there are significant international efforts in Australia, Latin America & Europe. Census: https://curesyngap1.org/blog/syngap1-census-2025-update-55-in-q2-2025-total-1636/  If you are in industry and thinking about starting another NHS for your asset, please don't.  Please instead partner with existing PAGs and NHS studies in your key geographies to move faster, have bigger N and not waste precious patients time, we need to accelerate drug development not slow it down by diluting patients and clinicians between too many studies.

There can't be many people in the world who've saved lives in hospital emergency rooms and also helped care for the wellbeing of astronauts in space – but Kevin Fong's career has followed a singular path: from astrophysics and trauma medicine, to working with NASA, to becoming an Air Ambulance doctor.Kevin is a consultant anaesthetist and professor of public engagement and innovation at University College London. He's worked on the front line in hospitals, dealing with major incidents and helping shape policy; but he's also stayed true to his childhood passion for space, working on multiple projects with NASA and even going through the astronaut application process himself. As if that wasn't enough, he's also become a well-known figure in science broadcasting through his various radio and TV shows.Speaking to Professor Jim Al-Khalili, Kevin admits it hasn't always been an easy path – but his passion for both space and medicine have got him through. And today, he's channelling his energies into ensuring we protect the NHS's most precious commodity: its staff.Presented by Jim Al-Khalili Produced by Lucy TaylorThis programme was a BBC Studios Audio prouction for Radio 4.

The Prime Minister has launched a 'new era' for the NHS that aims to move away from reactive care in hospitals to preventing illness through community services. It's an ambitious plan and one with a lot of ambition and a lot of unknowns. James Gallagher discusses the plans with Sarah Woolnough, Chief Executive of The King's Fund, an independent think tank working to improve health and care across England, and Sally Gainsbury, Senior Policy Analyst at the Nuffield Trust, specialising in evidence-based research on health and social care provision in the UK.Artificial Intelligence (AI) is being touted as a way to improve efficiency and save money in the 10 Year Plan and every day in healthcare there are headlines about new AI-driven tools that could revolutionise medicine. In a new mini-series, James hears about different ways AI is being used starting with heart scans that use AI to analyse large amounts of data to predict health outcomes in a way that would be near impossible for a human to achieve. He talks to Dr Arunashis Sau from the National Heart & Lung Institute at Imperial College, London.Also, with a 200-year-old condom made from a sheep's insides attracting crowds to the Rijksmuseum in The Netherlands, James finds out about the history of condoms with cultural historian Dr Kate Stephenson.Presenter: James Gallagher Producer: Tom Bonnett Additional production: Ella Hubber Editors: Glyn Tansley and Martin Smith

Diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at 11 and later with end-stage renal disease, Suzanne drew on her personal experience to write an MSc thesis exploring the lived challenges of adhering to a highly restrictive dialysis diet. Following her kidney transplant, she was struck by the lack of clear nutrition guidance for transplant recipients, making the transition to managing her new kidney particularly difficult. Determined to fill this gap, she conducted research to develop evidence-based dietary guidelines, which she published in Transplant International and presented at the European Keto Live Conference in Switzerland.

The Caregiver's Journal hosted by Lance A. Slatton with Cindy (PT) & Christina (ST) Hardin-Weiss.   The Caregiver's Journal is the show where we are sharing the caregiving experiences, stories, and wisdom of family caregivers.   Chapter 14 - "Caregiver Support":   About Heidi Lee Cross:   Heidi Lee Cross is a North London-based copywriter, poet, and caregiver. She shares a home with her partner, 12-year-old son, and their cherished dog Bailey. After graduating with a BA Hons Degree in Drama & Theatre Arts in 1996, Heidi embarked on a television career that spanned two decades.   Starting as an intern with Planet 24's The Big Breakfast, she progressed through roles as a runner, researcher, bulletin presenter, and eventually studio and location producer across various television networks. Her passion for writing led her to transition into a successful copywriting career. In 2023, Heidi published a poignant collection of poems about parenthood titled Mum of a Boy.   Her caregiving journey began in 2017 after her father's unexpected passing, which left her to support her mother as she faced early cognitive decline and an Alzheimer's diagnosis. This deeply personal experience inspired her second book, Milk Tulips, a blend of stories, poetry, practical advice, and insights. The book serves as a companion for caregivers navigating the complexities of dementia, especially those raising young children at the same time. Heidi hopes her work provides comfort and encouragement to those facing similar challenges. (both books available on Amazon in hardback, paperback and for Kindle).   About Marielle Molette:   Marielle Molette is a projects officer with an NHS and Social Care background, complemented by her expertise in French and Translation Studies. She lives in North London with her husband and two sons. Her most recent role as a commissioning officer for Barnet Council allowed her to use her skills to lead on various initiatives, including the national Changing Places Toilets campaign. This initiative ensures the provision of fully accessible toilets for individuals with significant disabilities, equipped with specialised facilities such as hoists and adult-sized changing tables, offering dignity and independence to those who need it most.   Passionate about creating positive change and improving the lives of others, Marielle has been a dedicated advocate and caregiver for her mother, who has lived with Alzheimer's for the past 10 years. Her journey inspired her participation in a video campaign by the Royal Free Trust, where she shared her experiences caring for her mum. This initiative aimed to improve outcomes for dementia patients in hospitals, raising awareness about the unique challenges they face, advocating for better care solutions.

The year is 1948 and the world has just witnessed the worst of what governments will do to people when left unchecked with its power. America is the leader in the world, mostly due to the fact that Europe was a smoldering pile of rubble and all of its treasure was traded for bombs and tanks. The Americans, however, were very busy back at home plotting how they could control the continent from across an entire ocean. From the creation of the Smith-Mundt Act to the formation of the World Health Organization and NHS, the world kept spinning after the war and some of the control structures that remain to this day were installed during 1948. Israel & North Korea were formed on disputed land, and South Africa decided that its land dispute would be handled in a very particular way.
