Student Commuters, Charity Superstores and the NHS App

You and Yours

Available for over a year

More students are commuting but are universities set up to ensure that they make the most of their university experience? Charity shops have been key feature of our high streets for years, now a new generation of charity superstores are opening in retail parks. For years it was left to decline but an historic wool market has now been refurbished and not only become one of Yorkshire’s hottest tourist attractions but also one of the country’s biggest outdoor music venues. The NHS App is now one of the most downloaded in the UK. More than three quarters of adults in England have it but not all GPs work with it. What do patients think about it and how will it develop in future? The Patients Association has been investigating. If you have a question as a patient you can contact the Patients Association on their Helpline: 0800 345 7115 We are experiencing hotter spells in summer, and the Met Office predict surges in temperature to 40 C and above will be commonplace mid-century. But how do you keep homes, mostly built to keep the heat in, cool in hot weather? PRESENTER: WINIFRED ROBINSON PRODUCER: KEV MOUSLEY
