Research is an essential part of making healthcare better. It can lead to new treatment or provide evidence of the best available treatments for a clinical condition.
Without research there would be no new ways to treat you, it is just as important to your healthcare as your doctor and your hospital.
About Clinical Research
What is Clinical Research?
Clinical research is a branch of medicine that looks at the safety and effectiveness of drugs, medical devices, treatments and diagnostic tools planned for use in humans.
Clinical trials look at new ways to prevent, detect, or treat disease. Treatments might be new drugs or new combinations of drugs, new surgical procedures or devices, or new ways to use existing treatments. The goal of clinical trials is to see if a new test or treatment works and is safe. It may involve patients or healthy volunteers, or both.
Research is not just about testing new drugs; it is everything that can improve quality care and experience for our patients.
For more detailed information about Clinical trials, read one of these guides created by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) –

Getting involved
High-quality clinical research that benefits patients all around the world is not possible without your help.
Taking part in a study might mean completing a questionnaire, an extra blood sample, taking a new medicine or trying a new treatment.
If you decide to take part in research, you are free to withdraw at any time, without giving a reason. You will continue to receive the best available care.
Patients are usually approached by a doctor or a nurse to take part in a study, but if you are interested in learning more please contact Rowena Fletcher, Head of Research and Development - firstname.lastname@example.com

If you wish to get involved or find out more, please contact the R&D office on 01908 995118.
The following are a sample of the more than 60 studies conducted at Milton Keynes Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. For more information on specific studies and conditions please contact us.
Helping older women make choices about breast cancer treatment
Breast cancer is a very common problem in older women and over one third of all cases are seen in women over the age of 70 years. In most the disease is very effectively treated with a range of treatments.
A great deal of scientific research has been done to ensure that every woman with breast cancer gets the best treatment for her cancer. However, much of this research has been carried out on women under the age of 70. This means breast cancer specialists have much less scientific evidence to guide the treatment of women over 70.
This study is trying to address this problem and gather detailed information about how older women with breast cancer are treated and how well they do.
We are conducting a study in order to understand the cause of diabetes and its complications such as heart disease, diabetic eye disease and diabetes kidney disease.
To improve treatment and prevention of these important illnesses, we need to find both the genes (the inherited code which may be passed down through generations) and also non-inherited factors that make some people more likely to get diabetes and the medical problems related to diabetes.
If you have Diabetes and would like to find out more about this study please contact our Diabetes Research Nurse, Helen Jeffers on 01908 996655.
Adults with Crohn's disease
Anti-TNFa drugs have greatly advanced the treatment of Crohn's disease. However some patients do not respond to treatment and others loose response to the drugs with time.
In addition patients occasionally experience unpredictable side effects which may be severe. We are undertaking a study aiming to identify why some patients develop these problems, whilst other patients do not.
It is hoped that we might then be able to develop a test to predict which patients are likely to benefit, and least likely to suffer side effects.
A study is being carried out with patients who have suffered a stroke caused by a blood clot blocking a blood vessel that carries blood to one part of the brain.
Currently we treat patients They are antiplatelet (blood thinning) medications and work by acting on cells in your blood called platelets and reduce your risk of another stroke by making the platelets less 'sticky'.
You will be allocated to receive either current guideline treatment (clopidogrel alone or combined aspirin and dipyridamole) or to have all three medications (aspirin, dipyridamole and clopidogrel) for 1 month.
The guideline treatment may be clopidogrel alone or a combination of aspirin and dipyridamole
Lung cancer
It is believed that chemicals and tiny cell abnormalities may be important in detecting lung cancer. These chemicals or biomarkers may be detectable even before patients develop symptoms or abnormal chest x-rays. We are taking part in a study that tests if these chemicals can be detected in the breath and spit specimens of lung cancer and also if they are detectable in patients who do not yet have visible lung cancer but are at higher risk of developing it.
Specialist cancer services
About 2,000 teenagers/young adults (TYA) aged 13–24 years in England are diagnosed with cancer each year. NICE guidelines state that all young people should have access to specialist TYA cancer services but currently only half do. Researchers wish to find out if TYA specialist care and services provide better outcomes and are cost effective.
Otitis Media
Inflammation of the ear is very common in children, and may manifest as an ear infection or as fluid in the ear, called "glue ear".
Almost every child will have had either an ear infection or an episode of glue ear by the age of five. Most of these episodes resolve, but in some children the problems persist and may lead to a glue ear that is present over many months, or may lead to repeated ear infections.
We do not understand why some children develop a more persistent or repeated problem with their ears. We do know that genes play a significant part, but we do not know the genes responsible.
Recently two genetic mutant mice that develop inflammation of their ears have been discovered. This project will analyse the DNA of children who have persistent or repeated problems with their ears, and the DNA of their family, to see if the genes that have been found in the mutant mice may be responsible for this same problem in humans (these genes are called "Evi1" and "Fbxo11").
If a gene is discovered that contributes to ear inflammation, it could play a very important role in understanding, preventing and treating these common diseases.

The importance of textiles in Susan's life is evident in every room. In 2011, she quit her City job to become a full-time antique-textiles dealer in London. Heavy drawers in the dining-room commode creak with antique linen tablecloths and napkins. Suzani panels hang over the stairs and on the landing; motifs taken from them have been painted by Max as borders around the doors to the bedrooms. Cushions and lampshades are unmistakably made with handwoven and antique cloth.
The main bathroom is painted in a pale blue from Papers & Paints. An alcove houses a Victorian bathing jug and an antique oil painting.

Lena Dunham, acclaimed writer-director-star of HBO and Sky Atlantic's Girls and the award-winning movie Tiny Furniture, displays her unique powers of observation, wisdom, and humour in this exceptional collection of essays.
"If I could take what I've learned and make one menial job easier for you, or prevent you from having the kind of sex where you feel you must keep your sneakers on in case you want to run away during the act, then every misstep of mine was worthwhile. I'm already predicting my future shame at thinking I had anything to offer you, but also my future glory in having stopped you from trying an expensive juice cleanse or thinking that it was your fault when the person you are dating suddenly backs away, intimidated by the clarity of your personal mission here on Earth. No, I am not a sexpert, a psychologist, or a dietician. I am not a mother of three or the owner of a successful hosiery franchise. But I am a girl with a keen interest in having it all, and what follows are hopeful dispatches from the frontlines of that struggle."
©2014 Lena Dunham (P)2014 HarperCollins Publishers Limited
Advance praise for Not That Kind of Girl:
"It's not Lena Dunham's candour that makes me gasp. Rather, it's her writing - which is full of surprises where you least expect them. This is a fine, subversive book." David Sedaris
"Always funny, sometimes wrenching, these essays are a testament to the creative wonder that is Lena Dunham." Judy Blume
"Dunham's writing is just as smart, honest, sophisticated, dangerous, and charming as her work on 'Girls'. Its essential quality is a kind of joyful super-awareness: of herself, the world, the human. Reading her makes you glad to be in the world, and glad that she's in it with you." George Saunders
"Very few women have become famous for being who they actually are, nuanced and imperfect. When honesty happens, it's usually couched in self-ridicule or self-help. Dunham doesn't apologise like that - she simply tells her story as if it might be interesting. The result is shocking and radical because it is utterly familiar. Not That Kind of Girl is hilarious, artful, and staggeringly intimate; I read it shivering with recognition." Miranda July
"The best."
Loved this book so much, couldn't get enough of it. I love Lena's playful wording and seriously funny stories. Best book I've listened to in ages!
"Like a friend talking to you on a road trip"
I like the honesty, I like the tone and I like that this book is a sequence of events and yet not sequential. Lena seems like a friend who I have known forever rather than someone I have never and am unlikely to meet.
"Most recommended for fans"
An introspective look into the life of Lena Dunham through a collection of lists, short stories and personal essays. Sometimes funny, sometimes sad, always honest.
"Poetically Flawed"
Recommend for any fans of Girls. But no great profound leaps beyond that in context.
"Really fun and funny and real. Really real"
This book gave me a lot of happiness as I lulled around my life listening. It was a perfect balance of honesty funny and serious and is terrifically well written and made better by hearing Lena tell her stories.
"Love Lena"
Such a gift when someone shares with such raw honesty in a bio; not to mention wonderful esoteric, detailed recollections of times passes. I'm older than Lena, and I loved this insight in to a young, creative trail blazer. And Lena, as for "sun shine stealers? " they're scattered everywhere ! ;) x
This girl isn't a feminist in any sense of the word. She isn't even a liberal feminist. I find her nothing more than a promiscuous, vulgar, entitled, self serving prat. If I didn't feel fractionally sorry for her due to her low self esteem my review would have been worse.
"Loved it"
My very first audible book, I really enjoyed Lena reading her story listening to and from work on the long drive. Engaging and funny I found her very relatable.
"Different people - so much in common"
So much truth. I'm not much of a reader. The last book I attempted to read was memories of a geisha but I kept falling asleep. This is the first book I've ever listened to and boy was it good. I couldn't put the earphones down.
I can relate to so many parts in the book, not everything but enough to scare myself.
A recent laugh I had at Lena and then myself was the part about B.O smelling like onions. I just said exactly that to my husband the other day after walking past a bunnings bbq stand. I confusion my senses go through is great when it come to cooked onion and B.O.
Thank you for making me feel a little more normal and weird all at the same time.
Laters. x. Jem
"Interesting read"
I enjoyed this and can definitely see where the inspiration from Girls comes from. Lena sounds as though she could be a difficult person to be around at times- very dramatic. The chapter on 'body' was a bit tedious- no one wants to hear pages and pages of caloric intake, though the banality was part of her story.
"Loved it!"
Great book! Loved that Lena Dunham was reading it herself. Funny/awkward and cringy stories. Amazing! You need to read it!
"Alternate title: my awkward sexual history"
Nope: I thought this book would explore other themes (career, friendship, family) - in a mindy kaling-bio type way. instead i was disappointed to get one sexual stop after another. Each designed to make my jaw drop a little more than the last. Lena is definitely funny- indisputable, but after an hour or two or three, I am no longer amused.
I'm a fan of Girls so my expectations were high. I just didn't get it. I bought the book on audible and parts were torture. Listening to Lena read through days of dieting food was one of my lowest points. I'm still a fan of Girls but would steer clear of another book - particularly On Audible. Shame as I've always admired her ballsy approach.
"Such a disappointment."
I'm a fan of Dunham and of Girls and I expected so much more from this book. Like another reviewer I was disappointed to find no discussion of her creative process, no reflections on writing in general, just simply nothing about the thing most people respect her for - which is her work! What this book is is the confessional journal of a nausiatingly privileged twenty-something's mental pathologies and to be honest, it felt like having coffee with that friend who just bangs on and on about their first world problems and doesn't filter a single thought that comes out of their mouth.
As other reviewers have stated, the lowest point is a section in which she reads an old food diary, listing everything she ate along with each item's caloric value. When she encounters an item for which she is uncertain of the caloric value, she does an exaggerated upward inflection that had me on the edge of throwing my computer out the window. This list goes on for an excruciatingly leisurely fifteen minutes in this audiobook. FIFTEEN MINUTES. She doesn't even attempt to justify or explain the list's presence in the book, or even to analyse it, which perhaps could have drawn something interesting from it. She just sticks it in like a kid who forgot to bring anything for Show And Tell. The childish egomania of the thing was bewildering.
The number one bane of feminist creatives is that we are so rarely asked about our work, our thoughts, our minds – instead we are asked about fashion and dieting, boyfriends and sex etc etc. I just cannot fathom why Dunham, who is a skilled writer and an outspoken feminist, chose to use the opportunity of writing her own book to fill it with the sort of banal nonsense that any Glamour Magazine interview would have asked her. What a waste of time.
Just a boring life story, nothing out of the ordinary, interesting or funny.. Feels like it was written by someone proving to themselves that they can write.
"Awful, self indulgent, self obsessed drivel"
I have really ambivalent feelings towards Lena. She is clearly blessed with a great writing talent but this is just a rehash of the only thing she seems capable of writing about. Herself. I
"Obviously listen if you are a fan of Girls"
Maybe. I love Lena, so am intrigued by anything she has to say, but was a little disappointed by the lack of excitement in the story, but I love love her and did really enjoy it, an easy listen.
Yes I hope her next book is more juicy. The scene where she reads out her calories was too long, although I got her point.
Where she explains how she first made it.
"Reasonably entertaining...."
I love Lena Dunham but I found this a little too self-indulgent and frothy. Didn't lend itself well to the audiobook format being non-linear and containing various lists etc. I think I would have preferred this one as an actual book.
I wasn't really enjoying it. I was expecting someting totaly different. Too boring, stuff she learned were a but crap- I didn't learn anything useful from her.
Peeping Toms? Sex starved?
Very disappointing. All over the place biography with very little depth unless you are interested in someone who has very little self-respect's sex life.And it's American.
Her; "I'm a rebel- just for the sake of it, shallowness."
It would need to be put in some sort of logical order and need some interesting content or perspectives injected into it.
Avoid if you have any brain cells that need exercise.<br/>
"dazzling story telling"
I thought it would be all essays and opinion but instead it was a beautiful tale of a young girl growing into a woman. wonderfully read.
"A millennial's memoir"
So relatable. It's like reading my own journal if I was as eloquent and articulate as Lena Dunham. She's got a great gift in putting a girl's random thoughts into coherent writing. Her anxieties, struggles with identity and mental health resonated with me.
Loved it! Lena if you are narrating you next book, could you please read a just smidean slower, just so we can catch every bit and savour the lovely writing and funny, touching tales, a little more.Thank you! it was wonderful :-)

Talk of selling company continues
In a discussion last week about Lexmark International's struggling inkjet division, the first question on an analyst's mind was where the company saw itself in the future.The question came from UBS analyst Ben Reitzes to CEO Paul Curlander during a conference call about lowering the outlook for Lexmark's upcoming quarterly earnings. Would the company consider a sale of itself, or at least of its inkjet segment, Reitzes inquired.Curlander replied that Lexington's largest private employer is focused on improving its inkjet division, and thinks it will be a profitable contributor in the long term.But the projected earnings shortfall has again given rise to conjecture on whether Lexmark might be prime for a buyout.Analysts and others point to parts of the business that would make Lexmark an appealing buy for a private equity firm or other purchaser. But they also note the barriers that could discourage such an acquisition.
A good buyout candidate?
The laser printer business
The company's laser segment recovered quickly after a downturn in the latter half of 2005. Its positives include a strong direct sales force that has helped the company penetrate vertical markets like banking and retail, said Larry Jamieson of industry tracker Lyra Research.The company also runs a toner cartridge remanufacturing program, which "helps keep people coming back to buy their products … and also keeps the supplies out of the aftermarket," Jamieson said.The program, which was at the heart of the recent trial in the civil case between Lexmark and Static Control Components, has been upheld by a federal district judge.
Low market capitalization
Lexmark's current market capitalization, or total value of outstanding shares, is around $4.4 billion.
The company's stock price has fallen precipitously since the beginning of the year — now trading in the mid- to upper $40s — but the lower market capitalization also results from a decision to repurchase a significant amount of stock over the last few years.In 2006, the company repurchased $0.9 billion of its stock, or 16.5 million shares. The year before, the company spent $1.1 billion on repurchasing 17 million shares.The current market cap is inexpensive compared to the past, such as at the end of last year, when its market cap was more than $7 billion.Tom Carpenter, a vice president and senior equity analyst at Hilliard Lyons in Louisville, wrote in a note to clients last week that he questions "whether some of the money should have instead been spent on product development and
distribution."Carpenter's firm or affiliates beneficially owned at least 1 percent of Lexmark's stock at the end of May.
Cash flow
Because of the sale of ink and toner cartridges, the company produces a steady cash flow that could appeal to a business looking to leverage that cash for further acquisitions.It could also appeal to consumer electronics companies, Jamieson said. Most of those companies have only one contact with a customer: the sale of hardware. In the printer industry, though, "because of supplies, you get a pretty good ongoing annuity."However, that steady annuity has declined on Lexmark's inkjet side because its installed base of printers has shrunk as, among other things, it withdrew from part of the market in a bid to increase profitability.
A bad buyout candidate ?
Cross-licensed technology
The most frequently mentioned barrier to an acquisition of Lexmark is probably the agreements it has with competitors about certain patents.Cooperation among the competitors in the industry is common. For instance, Hewlett-Packard purchases its laser engines from Canon. In many cases, there are cross licenses, in which companies resolve patent disputes by agreeing to license intellectual property to another.Jamieson said he thinks the bulk of the patents that could stymie a sale of Lexmark focus on the inkjet side and printheads."Because of the way the patent structure is, as you come up with inkjet technology, at some point or another you're going to have a couple of things that infringe on somebody else's patents," Jamieson explained. "So they'll say, 'OK, we'll give you this, you give us that' … That's what kept a lot of companies out of the business."Shannon Cross of Cross Research, in a recent note to clients, cited a 1996 agreement between Lexmark and HP, which was included in Securities and Exchange Commission filings, as evidence that cross-licensing could prevent a sale.That document, which is heavily redacted for confidentiality, resolved claims by each company that the other had infringed on its intellectual property. The document mentions inkjet products and states that in the event of a change of control of either company, the other can terminate the licenses granted.In a recent note to clients, though, Bernstein Research analyst Toni Sacconaghi Jr. suggested that the cross-licensing may not be as disruptive to a buyout as thought.And as Jamieson put it, an acquirer could always "write a very big check."
Laser printer business, again
Though the laser printer business has strong points, Jamieson and Carpenter question whether a buyer could find strong value in operating it alone if it sold off Lexmark's inkjet business or stopped research and development and simply milked the sale of existing replacement ink cartridges.
Competitive marketplace
Above all, the printer industry has become more competitive in recent years as the overall market matures. Despite its maturation, the market does have some high-growth segments, which Lexmark has targeted over the last year with a spate of product introductions.
Back to the future
Ultimately, analysts suggest Lexmark's future may depend on whether it can turn around its inkjet business.
Some think it should exit the business entirely, while others note the balancing act the company is attempting in spending now and depressing profits in order to grow them in the long term."I'd like to see Lexmark pull a couple of rabbits out and keep it going," Jamieson said. "They've got some good stuff going, and they've got a lot of good people."

I'm an overbite but teeth are straight and no crooked. Wondering if there's any way to push my gums inwards. Like will wearing braces solve my problems? Thank you.

The early forms, from Domesday Book to the early 13th century, show the first element uniformly as Mam-, and it is therefore likely that this was a British hill-name meaning 'breast' (compare Manchester), with the later addition of Old English feld 'pasture', 'open country' (see Field) as the second element. The surname is now widespread throughout Midland and southern England and is also common in Ireland.

We all think about it from an aesthetic viewpoint but what's really at stake in regard to our weight and maintaining a healthy one?
Here's a game plan to keep you fit, feeling great, and most importantly the healthiest you possible.
1. Know The Stats: More than 1 in 3 Americans is obese. People with obesity who reduced their weight by 5% had improvements in metabolic function in many tissues, including fat, liver, and muscle.
2. Know the Fundamentals: Remaining at a healthy weight is not always easy-but the equation can be simple. Start by choosing foods that supply you with the appropriate number of calories to maintain your weight. This number varies from person to person. It depends on many factors, including your height, weight, age, sex, and activity level.
3. Keep your equipment in good order: Your wellness and awareness is important. Weighing yourself, regular visits to your physician, and an inventory of your lifestyle can illuminate possible contributing factors to weight flux.
4. Prepare a training regimen: There are endless benefits to a regular fitness regimen. 60-90 Minutes of physical activity 3-5 days a week is ideal. You can even break up the session by doing multiple activities at 20-30 min. at a time. Just get moving the best you can and always consult your physician before starting a new fitness regimen.
5. Know your opponent: Unhealthy weight comes from poor diet, sedentary lifestyle, and basically taking more calories in then you burn. There are, of course, other contributing factors but the former are the main culprit of weight gain.
6. Take Care of your Teammates: Make the maintenance of a healthy weight a group effort. Eat healthy family meals, workout with friends, and take walking lunch breaks with co-workers.
7. Take a time out: Aside from sleep's biologically restorative benefits if we don't get regular sleep of 7-9 hours nightly it leaves us less inclined to get in our physical activity and more likely that we settle for take-out rather then a wholesome home-cooked meal. Get some sleep.
8. Fuel for Performance: Water, Lean protein, fruits, vegetables, and use sugars and sugary drinks sparingly. If you feel in the dark about your diet see a certified nutritionist a healthy push in the right direction.

The SSS-1 Cobra Space Station is a huge station around the size of a solar system. It is the first and only space station of the Serpent-class space station.
History Edit
As a member of the Terminal Union of Rapid Defense, an arms race between the members are inevitable. With each member creating larger, more sophisticated spaceships, the Industry decides to jump on the conflict and created this gigantic station to render everyone's efforts mute. The Cobra is built using remnants of destroyed planets, stars, asteroids, and comets with an added Infinimantium plating to make it look less alien-like and offering better protection. The Cobra remains as the largest and most powerful ship of the Terminal Union of Rapid Defense.
Appearance Edit
The space station is incredibly huge, being the size of a star system. It takes more than a millenium to travel across the ship on foot. The ship prominantly features a ring that encircles a very tall tower on the middle of the station. The tower is used as the hub for the crews and important members while the rings are used for ship docking, trading, entertainment purposes, and combat. The space station is white in color thanks to the Infinimantium plating, concealing it's rocky surface. To avoid being one-shotted by a spaceplane (an X-Wing to be precise), the station is protected by a man-made solar storm, disrupting electricity and other methods of communication apart from talking directly as well as destroying anything smaller than a frigate.
Armament Edit
Because of it's huge size, plenty of weapons can be fitted for the ship. Listed here are some weapons placed on the ship.
- 80,000,000,000 missile silos (nuclear, hydrogen, neutron, anti-matter, vibration warhead, EMP, etc.)
- 8,000,000,000 super anti-air emplacements (consists of lasers, missiles, rockets, and many more)
- 800,000,000 x 1,200 m SRT automatic railguns
- 80,000 NB-4E 'Castle Delta' De-atomizer gun (Guns with the capability to disintegrate atoms (pretty much everything))
- 8,000 Tractor Beam Guns (used to pull planets to reconstruct itself)
- 800 ICU-D34/D Super Mobile Ion Cannon (Ion cannons that can destroy planets easily)
- 8 Gigant Laser emplacements (gigantic lasers that would spread across the ring and destroys anything around it)
- 1 Star Heater (a particle beam that when fired to a star, forces it to go supernova)
- 1 Zetasonic Solar Blaster (a sonic weapon that when fired, destroys anything solid around it (apart from the space station and friendly ships))
- 1 Hellmouth Rift Generator (a generator that when fired, creates a rift that teleports the victim to "Hellmouth")
- 1 Overloader Constellation Destroyer gun (a beam fired from the underside of the tower that splits into multiple more beams that are capable of wiping out multiple solar systems at once)
Propulsion and Energy Edit
- 32 x Solar Nuclear batteries (back-up power systems)
- 24 x Nothing but Power reactors (reactors powered by nothing. Used to power the ship's engines and provides electricity throughout the space station)
- 16 x Star-Traveller Engine (these engines allows the space station to move. Top speed is 40 knots)
- 8 x World-Jumper Engine (these engines allows the space station to travel through worlds)
Trivia Edit
- There was supposed to be 3 other Serpent-class space stations (Viper, Boa, Python) but upon realizing the craziness of having 4 constellation destroying ships, the writer decides to make the Cobra as the only ship of the class.
- Originally, the Cobra was meant to be a large terraforming machine but upon reading the Dreadlord and The Thor, the writer decides to turn it into something a bit more interesting.
- The Cobra was supposed to be named Ouroboros but the writer has other plans for the name so 'cobra' was used instead.
- If you're wondering on how it looks like, go see pictures of retro-futuristic space stations.

January 1st, 2009
Dr Petra
Each year after I've stuffed myself full of Christmas leftovers I settle down and have a think about the things I think we can expect in the coming year in relation to sex and relationships. You can read my summary of sex predictions for 2008 here.
Here's what I think will happen in 2009.
We'll see a definite shift to sexual health self management
Over the past few years there have been a number of studies and evaluations looking at how sexual and reproductive health services can be improved. These have indicated that people are far better able than expected to manage their own sexual health. Improvements in rapid testing for Chlamydia and HIV, as well as changes to testing to 'pee in a pot' for many common STIs, plus alterations in the role of pharmacists mean that STI testing and contraception provision no longer only have to be delivered within specialist settings.
So in 2009 we can expect to see a shift to contraception being prescribed within community pharmacy settings alongside GP and family planning clinics. Pee in a pot STI testing will be available in GP surgeries, pharmacies, clubs and pubs as well as GU services, while initiatives for self-referral to termination services will make things quicker for those seeking abortions.
The reason for this shift is to ensure a wider spread of services offering contraception and STI testing and treatment. It's a means of reducing waiting times and pressure within traditional contraception/GU services, and also encouraging the public to have greater ownership of their own sexual health. Alongside this we can also expect a shift in public health promotion campaigns towards an emphasis on Chlamydia testing as well as preventing STIs via condom use.
These changes may seem small, but are actually set to transform how we manage sexual and reproductive health services. As a result you can expect critics to oppose them fairly vigorously and argue they will lead to greater promiscuity and unwanted pregnancy. This runs counter to the scientific evidence around what works for sexual and reproductive healthcare, but nevertheless I anticipate a bumpy journey as these new initiatives are rolled out.
Pornography addiction will replace sex addiction (although we'll still be flapping about sex addiction too)
Sex addiction has been a media favourite for many years, not least last year with several celebrities arguing they'd been 'diagnosed' with the condition. In 2009 the focus will become more specific with pornography being seen as a primary factor in addiction. This won't be based on scientific evidence, but will be promoted by those without appropriate therapeutic qualifications, many of whom have particular anti sex agendas. It will make it difficult to have critical discussions about porn, and may well mislead many couples who have relationship difficulties but not a pornography addiction. I'll continue to expose quackery around this issue, while sharing any research evidence about the varied impact of pornography on our lives.
There will be a new focus on family relationships
Following on from some shocking child abuse cases in the UK and evidence from scientific research it is clear the level of abuse of children is far higher than previously accepted within the UK. Moreover research has shown emotional abuse, neglect and general disinterest plus poor parenting skills are causing countless psychological problems to young people. This in turn will affect their abilities to have positive relationships as adults, their capacity to be good parents, and makes them prey to abuse and coercion while young.
As a result there will be more initiatives to improve social care, but in particular there needs to be a focus around improving people's interpersonal relationships and parenting skills. Many charities, educators and healthcare providers are now poised to take action in 2009 to ensure families are better supported. We can expect to see a greater focus on the needs of children and young people – particularly highlighting the risk to them from violence, coercion and emotional neglect.
Reproductive rights will be overlooked in conflict zones
Sadly with the number of conflict zones around the world growing rates of rape, child abuse, and maternal and infant mortality are rising rapidly. Meanwhile restricted reproductive health services and problems in access to basic items such as sanitary towels are compounding problems of reproductive and sexual wellbeing. We tend to forget the impact of conflict on reproductive, sexual and maternal health but they will continue to be a major problem across the world in 2009. I'll be running a series of blogs in 2009 to highlight these problems and provide information on services and resources for any of you who live or work in areas affected by conflict.
Prostitution and pornography will remain high on the political agenda
As with 2008, continuing political debates over the Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill and prostitution policy will keep sex work on the agenda. There are a number of initiatives planned to try and persuade politicians towards a more evidence based approach and away from the acceptance of rhetoric many have been swayed by. You can expect debates on porn and prostitution to continue to be unpleasant and emotive, and it seems likely that we will see greater restrictions recommended.
Sex drugs for women will be a major focus
Last year I predicted female sexual dysfunction would come back into the news. That didn't happen in the public domain, but did continue behind the scenes with drug companies working on products for female sexual dysfunction (particularly Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder) trying to get healthcare practitioners and therapists poised to promote their forthcoming products. Events to promote sex drugs for women are due to increase this year and you can expect to see pharmaceutical companies spending a lot of time and money persuading practitioners to see HSDD as a problem and their products as a solution. The media will also be targeted so watch the women's press and newspaper health pages for tales of widespread female sexual dysfunction and the promise of a 'cure'.
Bisexuals will be in the news
There will be a number of TV programmes about 'being bi', plus new research discussing how bisexuality is conceptualised and measured. Within this you can expect some dodgy reports where 'bisexuality' is another name for birds who have threesomes or women who've opted for lady love because they're so fed up with men. The male bisexual will still remain more of a taboo area while bi women will continue to titillate.
The cult of the 'sex expert' will be replaced by the 'sex educator'
TV programmes will shift gear and move away from the current lifestyle format of aspirational sex led by 'sexperts' towards programmes purporting to be 'educational'. The amount of education and accuracy will vary, and most will eschew evidence based information for outdated or inaccurate messages that fit the 'televisual' brief. The result will be a mixed bag of programming with some useful and contemporary information provided amidst a dominant message of gimmicks, Cosmo-esque sex tips and sensational mis-reporting of sexual behaviour.
The myth of the year will be – being 'healthy' = having lots of sex
Over the coming months there will be a focus within the media (and from some charity groups) suggesting more sex leads to better health. Within these accounts you can expect a sprinkling of pretty bad science – misunderstanding the role of hormones, inaccurate descriptions of physiological functioning, advocating dodgy diets, and confusing the role of health, sex and exercise. Join me in the New Year when I'll be outlining some of the key errors in this kind of reporting, along with tips and pointers about your physical and mental health as well as your sex life.
Whether or not people really are having more cosmetic surgery, we'll be told that's the case
As the credit crunch bites you can expect a large scale effort from cosmetic surgery companies telling us that more-people-than-ever-before-are-having-cosmetic-surgery. In particular there will be an emphasis on female surgery, but male enhancement will also be promoted. It will be difficult to assess whether folk really will be seeking more surgery, or whether the news that this is happening will create demand. Either way the realities of such surgery, and the effectiveness of interventions (particularly genital cosmetic procedures) will be underplayed.
Keep an eye out for this story as it's really going to be a case of free advertising for cosmetic companies – who will be the journalists to uncritically cover this issue? [If you are a journalist who wants to take a more investigative approach please drop me a line as I'm happy to provide you with some of the latest clinical evidence on this topic].
The recession will impact upon our relationships
Towards the latter end of 2008 we started seeing a fair amount of dubious media coverage about sex and the credit crunch. These were largely hypothetical and not really based on any observed trends. However, we are undoubtedly in the grips of a global recession now and as a result we can expect to see people under pressure with financial hardship, housing problems and job losses taking their toll. This will sadly lead to increased separation and divorce rates, substance and alcohol abuse, violence within relationships, and extra marital activity.
More people will therefore be seeking relationship therapy, but we ought to anticipate problems. Hopefully sex educators, practitioners and journalists will do their best to offer information on how to survive relationships during this difficult time. On a positive note usually in recession we also see an increase in birth rate, so it may be by this time next year a few more of you will be experiencing the patter of tiny feet. If that's not something you want to happen make it your new year's resolution to sort out your contraception!
Happy New Year!
I hope 2009 is a good year for you – one that brings you good health, happiness and success. I'll continue to blog with updates on sex research, taking down poor sex science, and delivering brickbats and bouquets for media sex coverage. New for 2009 will be a wider range of advice, reviews, tips and resources for you on sex and relationships, along with interviews with some sex pioneers whose work you'll love hearing about.
As ever this blog is there for you to get good sex information, so if there's anything you want covered please let me know – drop me an email at email@example.com
