Issue 36 - May 2012
Note from the Editor:
It is amazing to think that we will be 3 years old this month and it is great to see how many people we have helped raise health awareness over the years as the service now reaches over 6000 people every month. Thank you to everyone for their support over the years as it has allowed us to keep the service running without the need to charge anyone to either use the service or to promote campaigns or resources.
We have stumbled across an amazing range of applications for the PC. Mac, iPhone and iPad from 3D4Medical. They help you learn about the heart, brain, muscles, skeleton and many other areas. More info on them can be found below.
We were also very pleased to welcome the tobacco display ban and hope that this will help reduce the uptake of new smokers. Please take two minutes to read the story of Luca.
Best wishes,
James Morgan
