What do you do in your kitchen?

Understanding what people do in their kitchens and why will inform thinking about how to reduce the burden from illness caused by food prepared and eaten at home, according to a new report by University of Hertfordshire researchers on behalf of the Food Standards Agency (FSA).The new report, called Kitchen Life, offers detailed insights for the first time into how people interact with their pets and their kitchens and how this might influence foodborne illness. With an estimated one million cases of foodborne illness each year in the UK which results in 200,000 hospital admissions and 500

Better healthcare for care homes

Improving the delivery of existing NHS services to care homes is the focus of a new collaborative project led by researchers at the University of Hertfordshire and funded by the National Institute for Health Research Health Services and Delivery Research (HS&DR) Programme.The three year study will look at the key features of existing health service delivery to identify methods of effective working for all care homes - this could inform future commissioning of services and be applied to influence and evaluate the delivery of optimal care.

Pioneering Research into Dementia

Researchers at the University of Hertfordshire are leading two of the twenty-one new Government-funded projects into dementia research - to boost dementia diagnosis rates and trial ground-breaking treatments, as well as helping people with dementia live well with the condition today.The two projects, led by the University of Hertfordshire’s Centre for Research into Primary and Community Care, have received funding from the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) and are part of the Government’s £22 million investment into dementia research. Over 670,000 people in England have some

Youth Violence Declining in UK

Physical violence among young people is on the decline overall in nearly thirty countries including the UK, according to a new international study involving researchers from the University of Hertfordshire.Youth violence is a major concern in most countries with physical fighting being the most common sign of such violence. The study’s findings show that investment in violence prevention programmes and other support networks do make a difference for the world’s youth.
