The number of people surviving heart attacks has improved enormously in recent decades – but little is known about what happens to patients afterwards. Helping healthcare professionals, patients and researchers understand what other diseases heart attack survivors may have, or might go on to develop, could lead to...
We expect our police forces to deal with an increasingly diverse number of problems – from tackling burglary and violent crime to safeguarding vulnerable communities and responding to critical incidents.
