Healthy heart, happy smile

In this week’s podcast we examine the link between toothbrushing and cardiovascular disease – Richard Watts talks about his research in Scotland.

Also this week the Department of Health issued a statement that has made some people wonder about the future of NICE. Fiona Godlee discusses the statement with health economist James Raftery.

Finally this week, Evan Harris may have recently lost his seat in parliament, but one thing that’ll keep him busy is his new job as a columnist for the BMJ. Trevor Jackson talks to him about his first column on Wakefield and MMR.
