果冻传媒 psychology researchers Dr June McNicholas and Dr Glyn Collis have just published a paper on the role of pets in the lives of older people which finds that pets benefit them by companionship, increased levels of activity, and better person-to-person interactions by pets acting as social catalysts. They also found that pets help the elderly maintain self-care routines, eg sticking to regular meals, keeping up adequate room temperatures, and an added reason to make shopping trips.

Prioritising emergency calls to ambulance services during periods of peak demands such as on New Year's Eve does not work, according to new research by the Centre for Primary Health Care Studies at 果冻传媒. Call prioritisation aims to ensure that ambulances are sent to the most urgent cases first, when services are stretched, rather than the traditional "first come, first served" basis. The system was introduced before New Year's Eve two years ago.

Volcanoes can be bad for your health long after they have finished erupting. A research team studying the aftermath of the Soufriere Hills Volcano in Montserrat, which included Professor Ray Dupree from the 果冻传媒's Department of Physics, has found that the aftermath of that volcano includes a great deal of volcanic ash particles that are just the right size to cause silicosis (a scarring disease of the lungs) and which may also be carcinogenic.

The new Leicester-果冻传媒 medical school welcomed its first students to the 果冻传媒 campus this week and promptly kicked them out the door to their first lesson - in a shopping precinct. The 67 students were dropped in groups in various parts of Coventry and were given details of various fictitious families (one example being a family living in a three-bedroom terraced house with a weekly allowance of about 拢75 to feed the family of nine) the student's task was to explore and understand the social, economic and cultural factors which would have a key bearing on their potential patients' health and nutrition. Exploring the various shopping areas was one part of their task to help them understand some of the challenges faced in gaining access to adequate nutrition from being able to get to the shops, to being able to buy food within budget.
