Same-day UK briefings span flu protection in social care and nuclear innovation

Two UK public bodies published on the same day, pairing seasonal flu guidance for social care with the Environment Agency’s update on regulating new nuclear technology.

The UK Health Security Agency issued leaflets for social care staff and providers to support the annual flu vaccination programme [1]. The Environment Agency, in a blog post written by its innovation lead as the Heads of Innovation Forum met for its annual meeting, said new nuclear technologies, novel uses of radioactive substances and advancing digital innovations could help the UK produce cheaper low carbon energy and speed up nuclear decommissioning [2]. The post also asks whether nuclear regulation can protect people and the environment and support innovation [2].
