  • The Deputy Prime Minister’s unveiling of the Centre of Excellence in Rheumatology at the University of Sheffield’s Medical School
  • New findings have confirmed that one in five deaths in the year following a heart attack could be prevented if a new drug, ticagrelor, was used instead of the standard treatment, clopidogrel
