Over the next couple of weeks we\u2019ll be devoting a lot of time to teenage mental health. If you\u2019re reaching for the off switch you do need to hear this - people on the front line with real experience and insights. We\u2019ll be talking to health professionals, teachers, parents and, finally, young people themselves. We aren\u2019t naming any of them so they can talk freely. Today, two health professionals: a Consultant in Emergency Medicine who leads on Mental Health and, to begin with, a GP, the first point of call for many teenagers and their parents. You\u2019ll hear them talking about CAM-H. \u2013 that\u2019s an acronym for Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services.
We discuss the latest front cover of French satirical publication Charlie Hebdo. It is an explicit and sexualised image of a football on a woman\u2019s vulva. How have French feminists reacted to it and what is the impact on the Women\u2019s Football World Cup which France is hosting?
For more than thirty years, Maud West ran a detective agency in London. What was it like being a female detective in the early 1900s? We hear from Susannah Stapleton on her new book about the life and career of Maud West, one of Britain\u2019s first female detectives.
Why are women asked to undergo painful medical procedures without adequate pain relief, how prevalent is this, and what are the consequences? We hear from Paula Briggs, Consultant in Reproductive Health at Southport and Ormskirk Hospital NHS, Katherine Tylko anti-hysteroscopy campaigner and a woman who recently underwent an hysteroscopy.
