A new study, VitaC4Care, will test how much vitamin C is needed to achieve normal levels in care home residents. One of the most vulnerable groups susceptible to COVID-19 is older people. In the UK, almost half (47%) of all COVID-19 deaths in the first wave were in care homes 1. In the US the Covid Tracking Project 2 estimates a third (34%) of deaths were in care homes. Could a lack of vitamin C, which is essential for optimising immune function and fighting viral infections 3, be a major contributing factor? 3 The VitaC4Care study is led by Professor Phyo Myint, Clinical Chair in Medicine of Old Age and Dr Alan Sneddon from the Rowett Institute’s Metabolic Health Unit, University of Aberdeen, UK, together with Dr Stavroula Kastora from NHS Grampian and vitamin C researcher Associate Professor Anitra Carr from New Zealand’s University of Otago.

Using success words in your CV is a really simple way of grabbing the attention of recruiters by giving depth to your key achievements and clearly relaying your capabilities. Instead of using vague phrases like ‘I was responsible for…’ and ‘I worked to…’ and words such as ‘Managed’ and ‘Organised’ that recruiters see from time and time again, you should use terms that are specific to your achievements and which will help you stand out against your peers.
