In a nutshell: WoW stands for Walk Once a Week and is a year-round walking promotion scheme. The DH-funded regional scheme is delivered by Living Streets in partnership with school travel advisers and participating schools. It encourages parents and pupils to walk to school at least once a week throughout the school year. Children record how they travel to school and if they walk at least four times a month, they receive collectable badges. Seven local authorities in the northwest joined the scheme in September 2010.

Date of publication: November 2010
Publication type: Report
In a nutshell: This report looks at the case for the polypill as primary prevention, either for individuals at high-risk or to lower risk factor levels in entire populations. It also maintains that the polypill may lead to more widespread and cost-effective secondary prevention, but states that it should be considered as part of a comprehensive global strategy to prevent cardiovascular disease.
