Meet our experts
Dr. Terry Deeny, a hospital registrar, every week, will investigate the ‘Big Six’, what they are and what we can do to prevent them. When health experts talk of the ‘Big Six’, they are not discussing such big game animals as lions, leopards or rhinos but some of the biggest killers in Ireland — the main chronic diseases that account for between 80-90 per cent of morbidity – asthma, diabetes, COPD, Heart failure etc. THIS HAS TO CHANGE and Terry’s on a one man campaign to make Ireland take control of their own future health.
Our reporter, Paul Walsh (lead singer of Royseven and Former Manager in the Health Service) will be heading up our community challenge. Each week he will follow an expert as they road test the latest cures, treatments, alternative therapies and diets for optimum health. From putting Donegal fishermen on the new ‘dash diet’ to lower their blood pressure to Mitchelstown’s Active retirement club trying out ‘gamification’ to feel younger – Health heroes or zeros? We find out.
The future of medicine is here – Dr. Johnny Walker will take us through the latest advances and the most cutting edge treatments available today. From a futuristic kit for the family home – to the Apps and gadgets that diagnose and treat – he will give a fascinating insight to what’s hot in health.
