As Rosacea Awareness Month approaches this April, experts are warning that many people may be misreading the signs of their skin. Facial redness is one of the most common concerns in the UK, yet it remains widely misunderstood. While Rosacea affects around one in ten people, not all redness signals a chronic condition — and in many cases, everyday triggers or skincare habits could be to blame. Joining Rory McGowan to discuss this is Marie Troughton a UK-based Medical Relationships & Clinical Services Education Manager for Clinique.

A report has been launched by Sciensus exploring how at-home care could be the future of a resilient NHS. It allows for complex treatment, such as chemotherapy and dialysis, to be delivered in our living rooms. Experts are suggesting this could be an ideal solution for those facing the hidden costs of attending regular hospital appointments and a postcode lottery of quality of care. Joining Rory McGowan to discuss this further is Christian Tucat, Chief Executive Officer at Sciensus.

New research reveals Brits are redefining ageing — focusing less on appearance and more on how they feel, from energy levels to long-term health. But despite this shift, many admit they’ve ignored their health in the past, and younger people are already feeling the pressures of ageing. Joining Rory McGowan to discuss this is Alan Graves, founder and Clinical Research Advisor at DoNotAge.

CEO of Estatesearch (specialists in bereavement legal services) Jonathan Upton comments on the NS&I debacle and further lost money as follows: “This is just the tip of the iceberg. More than £33 billion has effectively become ‘lost’ in UK financial institutions, with only a fraction recovered over the past decade. Without more proactive asset searches by legal firms and stronger tracing efforts from financial institutions, this growing problem is leaving billions disconnected from their rightful owners.” Jonathan, a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, has over two decades in the industry now, specifically dealing with estate assets after a bereavement. He's calling for financial institutions to undertake enhanced tracing exercises to follow customers who have changed providers or died to ensure assets are rightfully repatriated, and for legal firms can undertake Financial Profile searches or asset searches to establish the full extent of a person’s estate when they pass away so that assets can be passed on to the rightful beneficiaries.

This November, PETA is launching Plant Wool Month — a 30-day celebration of the beauty, diversity, and sustainability of the wools borne from the extraordinary plants that give the Earth its lungs.
