Health officials have issued warnings: cases of typhoid are at an all-time high, with most infections linked to travellers returning from endemic regions such as South Asia and parts of Africa. The illness, caused by Salmonella Typhi, spreads through contaminated water and food, leading to high fever, abdominal pain, vomiting, and sometimes internal bleeding or death if left untreated.
Here’s what every expat needs to know before it’s too late. When we think of home, we think of safety—a place to return to when things go wrong. But for British citizens who move abroad, the safety net of the National Health Service (NHS) may no longer be waiting.
As weight loss injections dominate the headlines, many wonder whether these so-called miracle drugs are truly safe, what happens if you stop taking them, and whether your GP can prescribe them. Here’s what you need to know.
A shocking new report has uncovered a deeply troubling culture within the operating theatres at the University Hospital of Wales (UHW) in Cardiff. The 22-page review exposes widespread misconduct, ranging from racism and theft to mismanagement, staff intimidation, and breaches of patient safety protocols.
This is a national wake-up call. It is not just about one health board’s funding decision—it is about the future of mental health care in Wales and the UK. Citizens, campaigners, mental health advocates, and organizations must rally to demand accountability and reinstatement of critical services. Mental health cannot be treated as an afterthought.

The government’s proposed benefit reforms are not just a bureaucratic shift—they are a direct attack on the dignity, autonomy, and survival of disabled people. By making it harder to claim PIP and coercing individuals into unsuitable work, these policies will lead to a national crisis, affecting not just the disabled community but the economy, healthcare system, and society as a whole. It is time for disabled individuals, advocacy groups, and legal professionals to unite and challenge these injustices before they become irreversible.
Efforts to push disabled people into work will ultimately fail, leading to increased mental health disorders and placing even greater strain on an already overwhelmed NHS.
Beyond financial hardship, the proposed PIP reforms will have severe repercussions on the mental health of disabled individuals. Losing financial support will create significant emotional distress, leading to heightened anxiety, depression, and a sense of hopelessness.
One of the most significant contributors to declining mental health is trauma. Trauma can take many forms, and its impact can be long-lasting and devastating.
