I love the part " it has emerged that six of the 12 experts drawing up guidelines have financial ties to drug firms who make statins or similar pills"

Hello,
During the Heart UK conference this was mentioned, new guide lines coming from NICE. I read the paper online and pick up a lot of information take what I want and leave what I do not want! Not every one like article from news paper! For me if at least one person get some benefit from a post I do I am happy.
"U" turn on butter and eggs in the paper today.
What NHS needs is an other type of calculator to check on % heart problem. The existing calculation have had it's sell by date, 10% or 20 % to go on statin.
I think that the NHS guidelines passed down to GP level are insufficient and flawed; it is not just about statins.
The NHS needs more people capable of thinking outside the box.
The link doesn't work for me.
Not what you're looking for?
