Four-time world champion adaptive surfer Llywelyn Williams says losing his leg as a teenager elevated his life. Surfing played a pivotal role in his recovery and in the years since losing a leg after being hit by a car in 2011.

It wasn't my time, said Williams, from Abersoch, Gwynedd.

Artificial intelligence will be used on the NHS app to determine which service is most appropriate for patients in England, the health service has announced. A new triage tool will ask patients a series of questions, and will use the responses to direct them to a GP appointment, pharmacy, A&E, community service or offer self-care advice. NHS England said the update would reach more than 200,000 patients in the next 12 months and be available to all app users by April 2028 as part of a major overhaul of its technology. The rollout has been largely welcomed, but some health bodies urged the NHS to prioritise patient safety, confidentiality and inclusion as it grows more reliant on AI. An initial trial of the tool at Wealden Ridge Medical Partnership in Sussex saw a 29% reduction in the number of people queuing on the phone for an appointment.

Welcome to the "Temu experience of telehealth," where everyone from Grindr to MAGA influencers can open a virtual clinic selling weight loss drugs and more. This May, the digital search company JustAnswer made an odd pivot: It started selling weight loss drugs. Launching an online pharmacy to peddle GLP-1s wasn't the obvious next step for a business that offers paid guidance from experts, but chief executive Andy Kurtzig says the decision was partly driven by advice from ChatGPT and partly by avid customer interest. The number of queries related to the drugs more than doubled between 2024 and 2025, he says. Plus, it was easy to find help: A company called WhiteLabelMD handles customer service, provides software, and connects patients with clinicians who prescribe drugs like semaglutide and tirzepatide.
