It’s Cervical Screening Awareness Week (9th-15th June) - there’s still time for you to wear your red lipstick and join The Red Lippy Project.
In the UK, cervical cancer is largely preventable thanks to the successful National Cervical Screening Programme and more recently, the HPV vaccination programme in schools. It is estimated that screening saves up to 5,000 lives every year and yet 20% of eligible women fail to attend screening when invited.

A new cancer database is to be launched by Public Health England:
It will collate all the available data on each of the 350,000 new tumours detected in the country each year.
The aim is to use the register to help usher in an era of “personalised medicine” that will see treatments matched to the exact type of cancer a patient has.

Hypnosis CD reduces biological measure of inflammation associated with stress and improves resilience
Chronic stress and anxiety have been associated with inflammatory changes in the body, and high levels of inflammation have been linked to a number of acute and chronic conditions.
The authors of a pilot study recently published in Complementary Therapies in Clinical Practice found that a self-administered hypnosis intervention significantly decreased levels of the cytokine IL-6 (Interleukin 6, a physiological measure of inflammation) and boosted resilience.
