A brand-new OU/BBC radio series Inside Health starts on Tuesday 15th October at 09:30 on BBC Radio 4 and BBC Sounds.
The six-part series will give listeners a better understanding of various health issues, distinguishing fact from fiction and bringing clarity to conflicting health advice.
The Open University academic consultants on the series, Senior Lecturer in Health, Dr Philippa Waterhouse and Associate Head of Nursing and Health Professions, Dr Rebecca Garcia, said.
“We have been working with the Inside Health production team from the BBC. The series will demystify fact from fiction around commonly held health beliefs and explore and discuss topical health matters. It is of relevance to several OU qualifications including Nursing, Health and Social Care and Public Health.”
Featuring interviews with patients and medical professionals the series begins by looking at how gene analysis is impacting treatment and care for people with rare genetic disorders.
