Who We Are
Health News Daily is an independent UK health news publication based in London, delivering daily coverage of the stories, developments and decisions that affect the health of people across the United Kingdom.
We cover a broad range of health topics: from NHS hospital updates, waiting lists and GP access to mental health services, disease outbreaks, medical research breakthroughs, government health policy and practical wellness advice. Our goal is to give UK readers a reliable, accessible source of health news they can trust.
Our Mission
Our mission is straightforward: to keep people in the UK informed about the health issues that matter most to them, in language that is clear, accurate and free from sensationalism.
Health decisions — whether personal or political — are only as good as the information behind them. We believe that trustworthy health journalism is a public good, and we are committed to delivering it every day.
What We Cover
Our reporting is organised into six core sections, each led by a dedicated member of our editorial team:
NHS — Hospital updates, GP access, waiting lists, staff issues, A&E coverage, funding and reform across the UK’s health service.
Mental Health — Anxiety, depression, ADHD, children’s mental health, workplace wellbeing, NHS mental health services and suicide prevention.
Disease & Prevention — Outbreaks, vaccinations, cancer screening, flu, COVID updates and UKHSA health warnings.
Treatment & Research — Medical breakthroughs, new treatments, clinical trials, NICE and MHRA drug approvals and health technology.
Health Policy — Government health decisions, NHS budgets, healthcare legislation and DHSC announcements.
Wellness & Lifestyle — Nutrition, fitness, sleep, healthy habits and seasonal wellbeing guidance for UK readers.

Our Approach to AI
We use artificial intelligence tools to assist with certain aspects of content production, such as research, drafting and data analysis. However, every piece of content published on Health News Daily is reviewed, edited, fact-checked and approved by a human member of our editorial team.
