Our ageing population has resulted in a steady increase in patients suffering with bladder incontinence. Not only is this unpleasant for those affected, it has a direct impact on health economics. Patients, carers and healthcare professionals need to work together to manage the prevention and treatment of this societal disease.

High blood pressure and the role of primary care

High blood pressure is one of the most common causes of invalidity and death. Given the lack of obvious symptoms, it can remain undetected until an emergency situation arises. The improvements in home blood pressure monitors have made it easier for patients to measure their hypertension and take appropriate action when necessary.

Self-Diagnostics - the future revolution in healthcare

Self-diagnostics and self-monitoring are revolutionising the way consumers treat their healthcare. Through monitoring, diseases can be detected sooner and, where possible, preventative measures taken. The future of healthcare relies on technology and doctors working together for optimal results.
