Stuart Priscott is prepared to travel 200 miles to attend clinic appointments for a Cystic Fibrosis research study at a South West hospital.

The father of two, who was diagnosed with CF when he was a child, says: “I don’t view the time spent at the hospital for the research trial as time lost but very much as an investment in gaining more time if my quality of life is maintained for as long as possible. I have felt so much better since being on this trial and feel privileged to have had the opportunity to participate in it.”

Stuart said: “The impact so far of the study...

One person will develop dementia every three minutes in the UK during 2016. There are already 850,000 people with dementia in the UK and it is estimated that this figure will rise to over 1 million by 2025.

A Will ensures that your property, savings and other assets will go the people you want benefit rather than letting the government decide. Although that decision may appear simple, it is necessary to take legal advice to ensure your wishes are accurately recorded...
