The year before I had listened with excitement to the launch of our local commercial station, Liverpool's Radio City, and wanted to find out what other stations I might be able to pick up. In those days the Guide covered TV as well as radio, which could only manage to fill two pages – but then there were only 19 “ILR” stations.

  • Embedding Physical Activity in the Undergraduate Curriculum
    July 2018 Embedding physical activity in the undergraduate curriculum Commissioned by Public Health England (PHE) and Sport England to embed physical activity in the undergraduate curricula in a sample of medical schools and schools of health in England during 2017 and 2018. This is part of the PHE & Sport England’s Moving Healthcare Professionals Programme Authors on behalf of Exercise Works Ltd Ann B. Gates MRPharmS BPharm (Hons) Ian K. Ritchie FRCSEd Executive Summary July 2018 movement for movement Forewords A final year medical student’s view on the lack of exercise medicine in undergraduate curricula As a medical student about to graduate, I have been left disappointed by the lack of exercise medicine I have been exposed to during my time at medical school. Despite it being a well-established way to prevent, treat and manage illness, exercise medicine does not feature significantly in medical curricula throughout the United Kingdom. As a result, there is lack of knowledge and awareness in the medical community. This issue is not limited to doctors: all allied health care professionals are in a position to influence positive lifestyle changes and all should be exposed to exercise medicine in their undergraduate curricula. We are currently missing out on a fantastic opportunity to empower the health care professionals of the future to be confident in advising patients about utilising exercise to improve their health and quality of life. This commission report demonstrates that physical activity can be successfully integrated into medical school curricula, and that students can encourage and support this being implemented. Katie Marino Final year medical student, University of Sheffield.

  • The Midlands Is Delivering Nearly £100M of COVID Research to Support the Nation's Fight Against COVID-19 a New Report
    The Midlands is delivering nearly £100m of COVID research to support the nation’s fight against COVID-19 A new report - Mobilising Research Excellence in the Midlands to Tackle COVID-19 - published today (Friday, January 15 2021) reveals that the Midlands has moved swiftly to apply its wealth of capability in its hospitals, universities and businesses to deliver £90m of research to support regional, national and global efforts to tackle the Coronavirus Pandemic. The report highlights that: • Experts in the Midlands are leading 81 new COVID-19 research programmes. • The region is playing a crucial and integral role in the world-leading genome sequencing consortium which is identifying the strains of COVID-19 recently in the UK and internationally. • The Midlands has used its internationally leading research excellence and clinical trials infrastructure to recruit over 50,000 patients to COVID-19 clinical trials, driving the discovery of new treatments and scientific insights. • The region has successfully bid for £45m of funding enabling the delivery of £90m of cutting- edge COVID-19 related research. • The region was at the forefront of the early detection of the heightened risks of COVID-19 to the country’s Black and Ethnic Minority population and bringing this to clinical attention. The volume of research projects and clinical trials that the Midlands is not just involved in, but in many cases leading, is exceptional. During the pandemic, the region’s outstanding clinical trials investigators and infrastructure have worked with national organisations to streamline processes and have delivered complex and adaptive clinical trial designs, exceptional recruitment levels and high-quality execution at speeds that were previously thought to be impossible.

This is a group-based programme, 10 weeks long, involving children and their parents. The programme was delivered across three areas in the West Midlands and aimed to help parents develop their parenting skills to enable them to bring about lifestyle change within the family. Four facilitators, two for the children’s group and two for the parents’ group, ran each programme. The facilitators included people with experience in nursing, teaching, youth work, physical activity and nutrition, who had attended a 4-day training course to run the programme.
