Today, thousands of resident doctors in England will walk out over pay, commencing the start of a five-day strike.
The government’s most recent offer in the dispute, which has been ongoing since 2023, included more speciality training posts and out-of-pocket expenses such as exam fees. Health Secretary Wes Streeting drew the line at pay increases, however, citing the 30% pay increase resident doctors (formerly known as junior doctors) have received over the past three years.

A New Sanctuary for Women’s Intimate Health Opens in the Heart of Knightsbridge
In a city defined by innovation, influence and evolving attitudes towards wellbeing, a new women-led intimate wellness clinic has quietly opened its doors in Knightsbridge, signalling a significant shift in how women’s health is experienced in London.
Founded by cosmetic gynaecologist Dr Sima Al Asad, the clinic sits on Brompton Road, moments from some of the capital’s most established medical and luxury destinations. Yet its purpose is distinctly modern: to create a safe, discreet and empowering space where women can prioritise their intimate health without embarrassment, dismissal or haste.
At a time when conversations around women’s bodies, hormones and reproductive wellbeing are finally moving out of the shadows, Dr Sima’s clinic reflects a growing cultural demand for care that is not only clinically excellent, but emotionally intelligent. London’s women, from professionals navigating hormonal changes to mothers, entrepreneurs and international visitors, are increasingly seeking….

Jacob Elordi fans will no doubt be foaming at the mouth in anticipation for his latest movie which is set to hit cinemas just in time for Valentine’s Day.
In case you’re out the loop, the 28-year-old Aussie actor will be starring in Saltburn director Emerald Fennell’s adaptation of Wuthering Heights alongside fellow A-lister from Down Under, Margot Robbie, 35.
The steamy romance flick is being pegged as a ‘scandalous and intoxicating’ take on Emily Brontë’s classic 1847 novel of the same name and, while there’s a whole bunch of hype surrounding its release, there has also been a fair bit of controversy.
Whether it’s over the Charli XCX-soundtrack, the casting choices and, more generally, the belief that the 2026 adaptation has simply strayed ‘way too far’ from its bookish origins, it’s clear that cinema fans have a lot to say on the matter…

Karoline Leavitt is set to welcome a second child into the world with her much older husband, Nicolas Riccio – and one expert has warned that the fate of her job lies largely in her boss, President Donald Trump’s hands.
The 28-year-old press secretary for President Trump took to Instagram on Boxing Day (December 26) to announce that she and her husband, Nicolas, 60, are expecting a second child together.
Alongside a picture of herself craddling her blossoming bump in front of a decorated Christmas tree, wearing a fitted white high-neck mini dress, Karoline revealed, “The greatest Christmas gift we could ever ask for – a baby girl coming in May 2026.
“My husband and I are thrilled to grow our family and can’t wait to watch our son become a big brother…

As a doctor, I occupy two distinct worlds. My background is in obstetrics and gynaecology and I work part-time in the NHS. But I also specialise in advanced aesthetics, specifically cosmetic gynaecology. This means I look after the functional and aesthetic health of the intimate area, covering everything from skin texture and volume to pelvic floor strengthening and rejuvenation.
But recently I’ve been seeing a new type of patient. While everyone seems to be talking about ‘Ozempic face’ – the gaunt, aged look that can accompany rapid weight loss from GLP-1 drugs – fewer are aware of a phenomenon I’m seeing. It’s a condition…

I once took 14 pairs of knickers on a five day holiday and still felt unprepared.
Stuffed at the back of a draw or scattered across the floor, knickers are an essential in millions of people’s wardrobes.
But how many pairs of pants should we actually own?
My personal collection of pants has never dipped below 30. What if I wake up and they’ve all been stolen? What if I spontaneously visit a water park mid-day and need to locate an emergency pair at a moment’s notice? You simply can never have too many.
Well now, recent guidance has answered the question once and for all. According to lingerie expert, Emma Woodrow, at Pour Moi, you should only be holding onto nine to ten pairs of underwear at any one time….

For decades, women have been taught, subtly and not so subtly; to tolerate discomfort when it comes to their bodies. Painful sex after childbirth, dryness during menopause, bladder leaks when laughing, or a sense of “not feeling like myself anymore” have all been quietly normalised. But a cultural shift is underway, and it’s happening in the most intimate of places.
Across the UK, searches for vaginal dryness, pelvic floor weakness and vaginal tightening have surged dramatically in the past 18 months….

SAFETY IN BEAUTY DIAMOND AWARDS 2024
Hilton Hotel, Park Lane
The annual festive event on December 7 was, as always, a glamorous evening of networking and celebrating the stars of the sector. Dr Sabika Karim was honoured to receive the ‘Career Achievement’ award: “Being at this event with so many peers, I’m reminded how lucky we are to work in a field where we make real, positive changes in people’s lives. I firmly believe we should all continue to share our ideas, knowledge and techniques with each other; we are not in competition, we are a collaborative. I was a little shocked as I thought I was still too young for this kind of award, but in aesthetics, nobody really looks their age! I always thought these awards signified the end of a career, but this isn’t my swan song. It’s just the start of chapter two!”

Moderated by renowned British academic and entrepreneur Rebeca Riofrio, the panel titled “The Power of Interdisciplinary Voices: Creativity, Strategy, and Social-Cultural Influence” brought together four exceptional women whose work boldly intersects art, science, entrepreneurship, and advocacy. Held as part of the Creative Women Platform’s Gateway to a Sustainable Future Forum, the session served as a timely reminder that in today’s interconnected world, the most transformative influence is forged at the intersection of disciplines.
Riofrio, who has spent over two decades shaping global conversations across culture, fashion, and education, opened the discussion with a compelling reflection: “Visibility today is not simply about being seen — it is about being strategic, being heard, and shifting the lens through which entire industries are viewed.”
What followed was a deeply engaging, candid, and often profoundly personal…
