HPV Vaccine Drive Targets 400,000 Unprotected Youth

UK health officials have launched a major campaign urging young people aged 16 to 25 to get the HPV vaccine, after more than 418,000 children left school without receiving it over the past three years. The vaccine protects against cervical and other HPV-related cancers. While typically given in Year 8, those who missed it can still get vaccinated for free through their GP. The initiative is part of the government’s goal to eliminate cervical cancer by 2040. Health charities are supporting the effort by raising awareness and providing educational resources.

Single Brain Scan May Predict Dementia Risk Early

A new MRI-based brain scan, DunedinPACNI, may predict dementia risk and biological ageing years before symptoms appear. Developed using long-term health data, the scan identifies “fast agers” who face significantly higher risks of dementia, chronic illness, and early death. Researchers say the tool could enable preventive interventions in midlife, such as improving diet, sleep, and exercise. Though still under clinical development, the scan could become part of future routine health screenings, marking a shift toward proactive healthcare.

Hampshire Faces Shakeup in Local Council Boundaries

Hampshire is undergoing a major Local Government Reorganization (LGR) that could reshape local council boundaries for decades. Two competing proposals have emerged: one from Hampshire County Council suggests creating three large mainland councils and keeping the Isle of Wight separate, while a group of 12 borough and district councils proposes forming four smaller, community-focused councils. Both sides have launched public surveys to gather resident input. The decision, deemed historic by local leaders, will influence service delivery, governance, and local representation across the region. Final plans are expected later this year following public consultation.

Once declared, affected sites implement strict infection control measures, limit movement, and tighten visitor guidelines. Public notices, regular updates, and enhanced hygiene help manage risks. These actions, led by Fraser Health, aim to protect vulnerable residents and maintain public health safety across Surrey.
