Peninsula celebrates budding success of new venture

Peninsula Private Medical Services opened its doors to invited guests for the ‘official’ launch Waterloo Court Health and Wellbeing Hub near Uffculme.

Offered the opportunity by Exeter Phoenix to take part in a new one-day workshop at the lively arts centre and write about it for The Exeter Daily , I agreed with alacrity. I signed up for 'Experimental Drawing' thinking it might give my drawing practice the kick-start it needed.

The group of ten who gathered on Monday morning came with widely differing experience and expectations. ‘Experimental’ could sound intimidating, but at least one participant interpreted it as open to those with little technical expertise. This proved to be true as there was no assumed knowledge and no...

This article discusses the pros and cons of physical training multiple times a day. Speak to the conditioning team at Exeter Chiefs and they will rightly say that multiple daily training sessions are very effective especially pre-season. However, speak to the average fitness enthusiast and they may say that they got weaker, tired, irritable and even ill after sustained 2 x per day training.

So here is a link to my blog that explains the various factors to consider before adding a lot of volume to your training regime. I also give examples of various splits and an example program to...

Dunchideock Barton has this morning got out the snow plough and cleared all the roads leading to Dunchideock in readiness for our party!

We owe our thanks to the Farmer who has so kindly thought of us all. The weather forecast is also kind with heavy rain expected this afternoon, which will wash any residue snow away. The temperature is not expected to drop so there is no risk of freezing. We have ourselves made the journey and the lanes are clear.

We would love to see you at the school today to see the stunning work the students produced in their exams over the last two...

How does our brain “learn” from stressful events?

A study that aims to investigate how the brain processes stress and creates memories of psychologically stressful events will begin shortly thanks to funding of £758,000 from the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council.

Researchers from the Universities of Bristol and Exeter, led by Professor Hans Reul, aim to investigate the role molecular processes, known as “epigenetic modifications”, play in the regulation of expression of genes required to cope with stress. At present it is unclear how the healthy brain adapts to and learns from stressful events.
