You and Yours

Available for over a year

Up to a quarter of England's pharmacies could close because of funding cuts. Those most at risk are smaller, family-run pharmacies that serve local communities. The 2.8 billion Community Pharmacy - annual funding - could be cut by £170 million pounds - 6 per cent - as part of efficiency savings across the NHS. Sometimes on You and Yours we get the chance to go behind the scenes of places it's otherwise difficult to get into. For instance, banks can be protective of access to their archives. Our reporter Mike Young has been allowed into the archives of the Royal Bank of Scotland to see how consumer banking has developed over the years. Academic and author Vybarr Cregan Reid tells us why he loves to run and why you shouldn't spend loads on running shoes. His new book Footnotes: how running makes us human will be published in May With such ready access to the internet and smart phones, it's so much easier to stumble across interesting features and blogs. But with the rise of content marketing - articles being written on behalf of brands as promotional content - how do you know that what you're reading is genuine and transparent? Does it really matter? Presenter: Peter White.
