Green and blue spaces could improve mental health through the opportunities they provide to socialise and exercise; it could also be that these spaces improve air quality. But other factors, such as wealth, may explain this difference.
In this podcast, Helen Saul, Editor in Chief of NIHR Evidence, speaks with Sarah Rogers, Professor of Health Informatics at the University of Liverpool about the impact of green space on our mental health and her study aiming to tease out the impact of green and blue spaces alone, regardless of wealth or other factors.

The NHS is paying increasing attention to leadership within clinical teams. Leadership training can be delivered in different ways, for example, to the team leader alone or to all team members. However, it is not clear which approaches work best. Researchers looked at leadership training for surgeons, and asked what makes training effective.
In this podcast, Helen Saul, Editor in Chief of NIHR Evidence, speaks with Amy Grove, Professor of Implementation Science and NIHR Advanced Fellow, University of Warwick; and Peter Hutchinson, Director of Clinical Research, Royal College of Surgeons of England. They discuss key elements of leadership training: feedback, personal characteristics and atmosphere.

Professor Martin Tobin and Dr Catherine John talk to Professor Turi King about the first 10 years of the NIHR Leicester EXCEED Study, from its original aims through to the research questions its data is helping to answer today.
EXCEED (Extended Cohort for E-health, Environment and DNA) is a longitudinal health study that looks at the causes of long-term health conditions by collecting information about genes and lifestyle. More than 11,000 people have already taken part in our research which is leading to discoveries that can improve and save lives.Based at the University of Leicester, EXCEED is a uniquely valuable resource for health research as it combines genetic, environmental and lifestyle factors to offer researchers a detailed picture of how health is influenced by people's DNA as well as what's happening in their lives and the world around them. www.exceed.org.uk

The global pandemic has had a huge influence on how we work. This episode, with guests from multiple NIHR funded projects, explores how the COVID-19 pandemic affected community engagement and involvement (CEI) activities, as well as how CEI and research was adapted to cater to local restrictions and changing context. The guest speakers describe how CEI is embedded in their research, how it has benefitted their projects and the CEI work they are most proud of. In addition to this, the guests also share the challenges they faced within CEI due to COVID-19, how these challenges were addressed and their experiences with online CEI.

Rising numbers of young people have depression. It can affect their relationships with family and friends, disrupt their school lives and interfere with sleep. Services are struggling to meet their needs and many young people are waiting months to access the talking therapies that could help them. Sometimes, doctors might consider prescribing antidepressant medicines. Research supports the use of some antidepressants in young people, and suggests that others should be avoided
