Need 2 Know Series
Welcome to our Need 2 Know Series - health articles section!
​
We believe that when it comes to health, people come to greater harm from what they don't know compared to what they know, so we are happy to present you with a varied amount of material to widen your knowledge base on health issues when you need them.
We publish a wide range of health material that aims to advise people about common (and not so common) medical problems.
Our goal is to provide easy to understand and credible information that helps you get the right treatment when it is needed.
Our material draws from a background of many years of practice in family medicine and specialist interests in public health, mental health, women and children's health affairs.
We have reviewed material from international research papers and credible resources for health care information from around the world including the UK and US. If you would like the source of any of the information contained in our articles please write to us here.
​
​The advise in our material is never meant to replace the assessment of your specific health symptoms by a health care professional.
​
Always seek help immediately if you feel your condition appears to be worsening.
