Channel 4 television series

I have been approached by Vanessa Singh, a researcher for Maverick Television who are making a series called 'Diagnosis Live from the Clinic' which will be shown on Channel 4.

Channel 4 are making a brand new medical series which is offering people on-the-spot consultations with our TV doctors from the comfort of their own homes, via webcam.  We are also running a huge medical road test of popular, over-the-counter medications and would like to invite people to get involved!

Whenever you walk into a chemist, the number of products you can buy for athlete’s foot or teenage skin complaints can be overwhelming. How do we know which ones work best or is it worthwhile spending the extra for a branded tablet over a cheaper own-brand version?

We are particularly looking for athlete foot sufferers to test some leading remedies. The testers can decide whether they’d like to be considered to review them on-screen or off-screen. And we don’t need to film the symptoms!

We are looking for as many testers as possible and there will be a standardised protocol, a health questionnaire and we will be working with Health Professionals to ensure best practice.

Is there any way you can help pass on this message to people that might be interested, by maybe putting up the flyer in changing rooms or forward the email to the team?

Any questions, or for people to get involved please contact me ASAP on 0207 874 7544.

Statement from the Football Association

Social networking clarification
Saturday, 12 February, 2011

A statement on the use of social networking websites.

The FA has issued clarification to participants relating to the use of social networking sites, including, but not limited to Twitter, Facebook and internet blogs.

Participants should be aware that comments made on such sites may be considered public comment, and that further to FA Rule E3, any comments which are deemed improper, bring the game into disrepute, or are threatening, abusive, indecent or insulting may lead to disciplinary action.

Comments which are personal in nature or could be construed as offensive, use foul language or contain direct or indirect threats aimed at other participants are likely to be considered improper.

Participants are required to act in the best interests of the game at all times and should be aware of this when using social networking websites. Furthermore, participants are reminded that postings on social networking sites which they believe to be visible to a limited number of selected people may still end up in the public domain and consequently, care should be exercised with regards to the contents of such postings.

In addition, we would remind participants that social networking postings could also lead to civil proceedings being brought by affected parties.


Match Days

Players are reminded that they should report on match days, home or away, wearing their club tracksuit with their boots, spare clothing, drinks, etc in their club kit bag.
