At 360-5 we know that good preventative measures – managing stress, staying active and eating a Mediterranean style diet – is the key to preventing heart disease.

Whole wings of our hospitals would be shut down. I, and most of my colleagues, could be thrown out onto the streets, unemployed. It would be the happiest day of my life.”
