Bats and rabies; hip dysplasia in babies and new research suggesting 100s of cases are being missed.  Plus tips to finding reliable health information online and clinical law.

What is the risk of catching rabies from bats in the UK? We answer this question prompted by a case at Mark Porter's surgery last week when a bat flew straight into a person in broad daylight.  Hip dysplasia in babies is a condition where the ball and socket of the joint don't form properly in early life. Every baby is examined as part of the National Screening Programme but new research suggests hundreds are being missed.  Plus tips from Margaret McCartney and Carl Heneghan on finding reliable health information online. And what is clinical law?
