UK Health Security Agency published guidance for social care staff and providers to support the annual flu programme [1]. The Environment Agency published a blog post asking whether nuclear regulation can protect people and the environment while supporting innovation, including new nuclear technologies and digital innovations that could help produce cheaper low carbon energy and speed up nuclear decommissioning [2].
