A new fourteen-part OU\/BBC radio series of Inside Health<\/strong> starts today, Tuesday 14 January, and runs weekly on BBC Radio 4 and BBC Sounds.<\/p>\n

The series airs at 9.30am each week and will explore a wide variety of health-related topics to bring clarity to conflicting health advice and separate fact from fiction<\/p>\n

There will be interviews with leading health professionals and scientists and first-hand accounts from people directly affected by the issues being examined.<\/p>\n

Dr Rebecca Garcia, Associate Head of School for Nursing and Health Professions<\/a> and Dr Philippa Waterhouse, Senior Lecturer in Health at The Open University<\/a> were the academic consultants on the series. They said:<\/p>\n

“As the academic consultants for Inside Health, we worked with the production team to offer insights and expertise on a range of health topics covered in the series, including prostate cancer testing, hearing loss, adult tooth brushing, assisted dying, mould and health in the home, and many more.<\/em><\/p>\n

Health issues affect all of us and we hope that by demystifying some of the unclear information surrounding these topics, we can help people to become better informed.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This series was commissioned by Broadcast and Partnerships<\/a> and is supported by the Faculty of Wellbeing, Education and Language Studies,<\/em> with particular relevance to R39 Nursing<\/a>, R26 Health and Social Care<\/a>, Q96 Health and Health Sciences<\/a> and R64 Public Health<\/a><\/p>\n
