The best practice of COPD management is changing. After smoking cessation, preventing exacerbations is probably the major priority in managing COPD patients to not only slow lung function decline but also to help lower the risk of cardiovascular events.
Recent guidelines have altered recommendations on the assessment and treatment of COPD based on the latest evidence. Now, recording exacerbations is of major importance, as is investigating the blood eosinophil count and deciding whether or not an inhaled corticosteroid will be worthwhile or whether it is more likely to cause complications.

In this Healthed lecture, international respiratory physician, Professor David Price provides a succinct and practical guide to the latest developments in COPD management and the evidence that underpins these developments.

In this Healthed lecture, paediatric gastroenterologist, Dr Rupert Hinds provides a practical guide to infant formula selection, without the marketing spin. He also addresses a number of other very practical issues related to formula-feeding in children. These include an outline of the differences between available brands, the validity of claims that a particular formula is better for immunity or colic, when it might be appropriate to change formula and when should cow's milk allergy be suspected. Importantly, he also sorts fact from fiction when it comes to claims such as the value of different additives to infant formula, the misconception that lactose intolerance exists in babies and the value of formula in children over 12 months.
