Behind the Headlines provides an unbiased and evidence-based analysis of health stories that make the news.
The service is intended for both the public and health professionals, and endeavours to:
- explain the facts behind the headlines and give a better understanding of the science that makes the news,
- provide an authoritative resource for GPs that they can rely on when talking to patients, and
- become a trusted resource for journalists and others involved in the dissemination of health news.
Behind the Headlines is the brainchild of Sir Muir Gray, who set up the service in 2007.
