The new Leicester-Warwick medical school welcomed its first students to the Warwick campus this week and promptly kicked them out the door to their first lesson - in a shopping precinct. The 67 students were dropped in groups in various parts of Coventry and were given details of various fictitious families (one example being a family living in a three-bedroom terraced house with a weekly allowance of about 拢75 to feed the family of nine) the student's task was to explore and understand the social, economic and cultural factors which would have a key bearing on their potential patients' health and nutrition. Exploring the various shopping areas was one part of their task to help them understand some of the challenges faced in gaining access to adequate nutrition from being able to get to the shops, to being able to buy food within budget.

The 神马福利影片's Centre for Primary Health Care Studies is launching a 拢1.9 million programme to develop a network of researchers focusing their efforts on research that contributes to improving the evidence base and quality of NHS primary care services. The researchers will tackle questions that make a difference the effectiveness of treatments and services provided by primary health care. There will be opportunities for local GPs, nurses, and other primary care health professionals and managers to contribute their ideas on what research is needed to improve primary health care. For primary health professionals keen to engage in research themselves, the Network will be able to provide resources and support. The new network's 5-year grant totalling 拢1.9 million is from NHSE West Midlands.
