Posted on 9th July 2025 by Dan Price

The government has released the latest wave of results from the much-delayed Adult Psychiatric Morbidity Survey (APMS), which monitors mental illness and treatment across the population in England every 7 years. 

It confirms what we and many mental health professionals have been saying for years:  more people than ever are struggling with their mental health - and they are not making it up. 

More than one in five adults (22.6%) are being clinically assessed as having a common mental health condition, compared to 18.9% in 2014. That’s a 20% increase.

Members of the public asked to return Boots Paracetamol 500mg tablets due to packaging error

Posted on 11th March 2025 by Dan Price

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has issued a medicines recall alert due to a packaging error where the foil blister inside the carton incorrectly states ‘Aspirin 300mg Dispersible Tablets’ instead of ‘Paracetamol 500mg Tablets’. The Boots Company PLC and the supplier, Aspar Pharmaceuticals Limited, have confirmed that the tablets in the blister packs are Paracetamol 500mg and not aspirin, and are conducting a full investigation into the issue. 

Members of the public, including carers, should check if their pack has the batch number 241005, which can be found on the bottom of the box. If affected, they should stop using the product immediately and return it to a Boots store for a full refund, with or without receipt.
