"I spend half my week practising medicine and the other half writing and talking about it as a GP in Gloucestershire. Working on Case Notes has been a boon for both me and my patients. One of the principal aims of the programme is to keep our listeners up-to-date with the latest developments in healthcare, and to accomplish that I get to interview a wide range of specialists at the cutting edge of medicine. A rare privilege that ensures our listeners aren't the only ones to learn something new."

Arts and Health
Do the arts have a role in health?
This week Dr Mark Porter finds out whether art and music can really help to improve people鈥檚 health and well-being.
Mike White from the Centre for Arts and Humanities in Health & Medicine believes the arts have a therapeutic effect. There鈥檚 growing evidence that they can bring about physical changes to the body. Research has suggested that patients who listen to live music in hospital need fewer drugs and recover more quickly.
Professor Paul Robertson has studied the effect of music on the brain, and especially how it can help people with mental health problems.
In Bristol the Royal Children鈥檚 Hospital was designed with the help of artists to help create a relaxed and interesting environment for children and their families.
Dr Mark Porter also visits Leicester to find out how comedy is being used for public health messages. John Ryan鈥檚 stand-up show Hurt Until it Laughs is aimed at persuading men to seek health advice. |
