Conditions with persistent bodily symptoms for which tests and scans come back negative are termed MUS. Patients are generic, high health-utilising and for most there is no effective current treatment pathway. The solution is a proven service based on proof of concept, cost-effectiveness and mar...

Relationship between loneliness and mental health in students.
This study aimed to examine longitudinal relationships in students.
