"There is no substitute for one-to-one advice from aÌýtop medical expert and that's what we offer our callers and emailers. But for each person who calls to ask for help, someone else phones in to pass on a tip or a suggestion -Ìýit's a great programme to present."

Osteoporosis
One in two women and one in five men in the UK over the age of 50 will break a bone because of osteoporosis.
Losing bone density is a natural part of the ageing process but what makes some people more susceptible to porous bones than others?
Being post-menopausal, taking certain prescription drugs, smoking and drinking are all risk factors for developing osteoporosis.
In this week’s Check Up Barbara Myers is joined by Dr Nicola Peel, consultant in metabolic bone medicine to take your questions on bone health and osteoporosis.
What are the best forms of prevention, treatment, who is most at risk and how can you get yourself tested?
If you have a question or comment about you can contact the programme with your questions or comments on 08700-100-444 from 1.30pm – 3.30pm on the day of broadcast or e-mail us via the ‘Contact Check Up’ link above.
