Read excerpt
Patients with several long-term conditions are coming to harm owing to fragmented services, doctors have warned.

Read excerpt

Pharmacies Dispense 300,000 Doses of Morning-After Pill (opens the original)
Read excerpt
More than 300,000 doses of the morning-after pill have been dispensed at high-street pharmacies in the first 5 months of an NHS scheme to improve access. New NHS figures for England show that almost 305,000 doses of the emergency contraceptive pill were supplied at pharmacies between October 2025 and this March.
