NHS told to help fat jab users keep weight off
The NHS has been told to help people taking weight-loss jabs keep the pounds off once they stop the drugs. New guidance issued by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (Nice) said the health service should be helping people for at least one year after they stop the injections. Health officials said many people regain weight after stopping treatment if they are not supported, and those coming off the fat jabs should be offered 'structured advice and follow-up support' to help prevent this. An estimated 1.5 million people are taking weight-loss jabs in the UK, but the vast majority are paying for them privately so will not be eligible for NHS support after they have finished their treatment. It comes after the National Pharmacy Association warned that demand for the jabs was 'unsustainable' and could soon outstrip supply. The new 'quality standard' from Nice says NHS patients should be monitored for at least a year after they complete treatment, and emphasises building 'long-term behavioural habits, use self-monitoring tools, and draw on wider support – from online communities to family-led interventions and local activities'. This guidance for the NHS in England and Wales sets out expectations for health providers including how they should support patients. Prof Jonathan Benger, the deputy chief executive and chief medical officer at Nice, said: 'Successful weight management doesn't end when medication stops or when someone completes a behavioural programme. 'We know that the transition period after treatment is crucial, and people need structured support to maintain the positive changes they've made. 'This new standard makes sure services provide that vital continuity of care, and it supports the NHS 10 year plan to shift from a 'sickness service' to a genuine health service focused on prevention.' The guidance says NHS services should monitor people for weight creeping back up and help implement 'if-then' plans so people know what steps to take if there is weight regain. It also says they should work with the patients on making changes to their daily routines as well as eating and shopping habits. Dr Rebecca Payne, the chair of Nice's Quality Standards Advisory Committee, added: 'Weight management is a long-term journey, not a short-term fix. 'The evidence is clear that advice and support for maintaining weight after stopping medicines or completing behavioural interventions can help prevent weight regain and enable people to experience lasting benefits. 'We've seen excellent examples of services that already provide comprehensive discharge planning and ongoing support. 'This quality standard will help ensure all healthcare providers adopt these best practices, giving every person the best chance of maintaining their weight management success over the long term. 'This standard ensures healthcare services are equipped to provide that essential ongoing support.' Prof Kamila Hawthorne, the chairman of the Royal College of GPs, said: 'There is no one-size-fits-all approach to tackling obesity – what works for one patient will likely not work for another and, as with any medication, weight-loss drugs do not come without risk. 'It's also the case that patients will likely need support to sustain their weight loss once they stop taking the medication. As such, this is important and sensible guidance from Nice. 'As a college, we've been clear that whilst weight-loss medications have significant potential benefits for patients who are struggling to lose weight, they mustn't be seen as a 'silver bullet' and ensuring access to sufficient 'wraparound' services – particularly for when patients come off their medication – will be key to optimal health outcomes.' An NHS spokesman said: 'While these new treatments are excellent at supporting weight loss, they're not a magic bullet and must be paired with wraparound support including advice on healthier diets and physical activity to see sustainable results, so we welcome new guidance on this for local services. 'The NHS is already supporting hundreds of thousands of people to lose weight through our 12-week digital weight management programme, and we are expanding this to 125,000 more people per year, so doubling the number of people who can access it, as part of the 10 year health plan.'

NHS warns serious virus 'rampant in Australia' coming to UK
NHS England is urging people to get the vaccine for illness which 'can lead to serious breathing problems that can end up in hospitalisation' The UK should brace for a surge in a potentially serious virus following a record number of cases in Australia, health experts have said. NHS officials said that the Australian winter is often a good predictor of how viruses will spread in England. And following a surge in cases number of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) cases in Australia, officials have said that cases have been steadily increasing in England since the start of 2025. NHS England has urged pregnant women to get the vaccine which protects against RSV in order to protect their newborn babies. It said that the virus is a leading cause of death among babies and the main cause of hospital admissions for children. Kate Brintworth, chief midwifery officer for NHS England, said: 'While for most adults RSV only causes mild, cold-like symptoms, for older adults and young children it can lead to serious breathing problems that can end up in hospitalisation. 'Getting vaccinated while pregnant is the best way to protect your baby from the moment they are born, and now is the time for mums to act, to make sure their babies are protected ahead of their first few months this winter, when there tends to be more bugs circulating.' Pregnant women can get the jab from 28 weeks of pregnancy onwards through their maternity services or GP surgery. Older adults aged 75-79 are also eligible for the jab and NHS England will start inviting people to come forward in the next few weeks. RSV is a common cause of coughs and colds. But some people have a high risk of getting seriously ill from the virus including babies and adults over the age of 75. In babies, RSV is a common cause of a type of chest infection called bronchiolitis. Last week, the UK Health Security Agency published data showing the efficacy of the vaccine. It said that the jab for pregnant women can prevent 72% of hospital admissions for their babies. And the vaccine is 82% effective at preventing hospital admissions for RSV among older adults, UKHSA said.

Inside the terrifying rise of anti-sun cream myths being spread by celebs & influencers – & why lies could cost lives
WE all know how important it is to slap on sunblock to protect our skin - don't we? Apparently not. A worrying trend is gripping social media platforms, flooding sites like TikTok with dangerous anti-sunscreen views, often repeated by influencers and celebrities with huge followings, experts warn. 8 8 Last week, Samantha Faiers, of TOWIE fame, was forced to hit back after coming under fire for revealing that her kids don't wear sun cream. Admitting she is not a medical expert, the reality star, 34, wrote on Instagram that she believes SPF is 'pretty harmful and full of toxic ingredients', adding that her family has 'built a tolerance' to the sun. It came after The Hills actress Kristin Cavallari, 37, said on her podcast, Let's Be Honest: 'I don't wear sunscreen and anytime I do an interview, I get a lot of s*** when I admit that I don't.' Other celebs including Kelsey Parker and Lauryn Goodman have told their followers they ignore NHS advice to wear at least SPF30. They are not alone in falling for and repeating misinformation online. Sunscreen sceptics believe the products contain toxic, cancer-causing chemicals and are to blame for rising rates of skin cancer. But leading doctors and scientists say huge scientific advances, greater awareness of the symptoms is fuelling better diagnosis, while an ageing population and more people holidaying abroad, are also driving rates up. The increase in sunbed use, tanning trends and misinformation, plus people ignoring advice, is 'also sadly fuelling the rapid rise in cases', says Marie Tudor of skin cancer charity SKCIN. She says the spike in anti-SPF sentiment is 'incredibly sad to witness', adding: 'The rise in anti-SPF supporters, driven by misinformation on social media, is a mammoth concern. 'Largely promoted by TikTok, this damaging content is influencing a younger generation who are highly susceptible to sun damage and is further fuelled by tanning trends and products. 'Sadly, such misinformation is without doubt going to cost lives.' Consultant clinical oncologist Dr James Wilson, who specialises in skin and lung cancers, agrees. 'Everybody thinks it's not going to happen to them,' he adds. 'I've got young people in my clinic who presented with metastatic [advanced] melanoma. 'I've had a number who have died, leaving young children behind. 'That's got to be avoided at all costs. 'Rumours of a risk should not put you off doing a behaviour that we know is protective.' 8 Melanoma, the most deadly form of skin cancer that can spread throughout the body, kills more than 2,000 people a year in the UK. Nine in 10 cases could be prevented by staying safe in the sun and avoiding sunbeds, according to Cancer Research UK. 'Your lifetime risk of melanoma is correlated with the number of times you've had sunburn in your life,' says Dr Wilson. 'SPF stops you from getting sunburned.' A child's skin is thinner, burns more easily and lets UV rays penetrate deeper. Dr Leonor Chen, skin ageing and aesthetics expert Samantha, 34, who is mum to Paul, 5, Rosie, 5, and three-year-old Edward, was asked on Instagram, where she has 2.5million followers, what sunscreen she uses. Sharing her experience, she replied: 'So this is always a bit of a controversial one, but honestly, me and my whole family don't actually wear sunscreen. 'Over the years, the kids have built up a really good tolerance to being in the sun.' Rather, she says, she takes other steps to protect her children - including mineral SPFs and staying out of the midday sun. 'I think SPF swimwear is such a good and safer option,' she added. 'But also, don't be afraid of the sun! Early in the morning or later in the afternoon when [the sun is] not as strong, I love letting the kids run around and soak it up. It's so good for them. 'That said, I do always bring a Tallow Zine SPF with me when I go away, just in case. 'And hats or caps are a must! Especially for us ladies, because no one wants extra sun damage.' Fans' fury Her response baffled followers and experts alike. One follower responded: 'You need to delete your story about not wearing sunscreen, I don't think you understand the damage you can do to your followers by promoting this.' PROTECT YOUR SKIN TO protect yourself against the sun's rays, the NHS says to: Marie says: 'The use of SPF 30+ broad spectrum sunscreen when the UV Index is 3 or above, is a critical prevention method.' Dr Wilson says: 'There's enough variety in the market and information on the packaging for you to find one that agrees with you.' Don't forget the star rating for UVA - the NHS recommends a minimum of 4-star UVA protection. Meanwhile, Bruce Green, chartered chemist, scientist and founder of SOS Serum Skincare, says there is 'no such thing as 'building tolerance' to UV rays'. 'Skin damage from UV exposure is cumulative and largely irreversible,' he stresses. Research shows that your chance of melanoma skin cancer doubles if you have had five or more sunburns, or one blistering sunburn in childhood or adolescence, according to Melanoma Focus. London-based Dr Leonor Chen, a skin ageing and aesthetics expert, tells Sun Health: 'A child's skin is thinner, burns more easily and lets UV rays penetrate deeper. 'They also have less melanin - the pigment that helps protect against UV - and what little they do make takes time to build up. 'In other words, they burn before their tan appears. 'Their immune systems are also less developed, meaning their skin can't repair DNA damage as effectively.' 8 8 While celebs and influencers sharing their own experiences may not intend to do harm, experts warn that with millions of followers comes a responsibility. Kimberley Medd, clinic lead at Face the Future, tells Sun Health: "Even well-intentioned comments can lead to real-world harm if they downplay established medical guidance. 'Paediatricians and dermatologists worldwide recommend sunscreen for children over six months. 'For infants under six months, sun avoidance and protective clothing are preferred.' Mr Green adds: 'While I appreciate Sam Faiers' emphasis on shade, sun avoidance during peak hours and protective clothing, it's important to address the misinformation surrounding sunscreen that was shared in her statement. 'SPF swimwear and hats are excellent tools, but they should complement, not replace proper sunscreen use - especially when skin is directly exposed.' Dangerous misinformation So where does misinformation like this stem from? We spoke to Roberta Whitney, 52, a former model with 21,000 Instagram followers, who believes we should 'embrace the sun'. She told us: '[She believes] lots of SPFs have chemicals in them that are endocrine disruptors, and I feel we should embrace the sun rather than this fear-based marketing that surrounds SPF.' Roberta believes many SPF formulas have 'chemical filters or stabilisers' that can be 'cancer-causing' or 'block the skin's pores'. Most of the damaging rumours about SPF are based on concerns around a common ingredient called oxybenzone. Dr Wilson says: 'When rats have been fed a high dose of oxybenzone, there have been some hormonal changes observed. 'To say that that would happen in humans massively underestimates the complexity of cell signaling and metabolism in humans compared to a rat. 'It also suggests that the amount of oxybenzone you absorb through the skin is the same as the circulating levels of oxybenzone in a rat that's been eating it. 'The evidence is really, really scant, and the people who shout loudly about it never seem to shout loudly about things where the evidence is really concrete and solid.' For those worried about chemical sunscreens - in spite of the lack of evidence supporting those fears - Dr Chen says there are alternatives. 'For those concerned about chemical sunscreens — whether due to skin sensitivity or personal preference — mineral options like zinc oxide or titanium dioxide are a good alternative,' she adds. 'They're well tolerated, effective, and especially suitable for young or sensitive skin.' Roberta is CEO of a beauty brand, BioBeauty, which doesn't sell SPF. But she says it's 'not anti-SPF', but 'pro-awareness'. She says: 'I believe people should make smart decisions about whether or not they want to use it [SPF]. 'Sunlight isn't the enemy. Burning is. That's what we want to avoid.' 8 Meanwhile, some so-called 'sun-nutritionists' also claim that sunscreen blocks us from experiencing the benefits of sunlight, particularly vitamin D, which we need for healthy bones. 'I don't think there's any real strong case for that,' says Dr Wilson. 'You do need natural light to generate vitamin D. In the British summer, being outside for somewhere between 15 and 30 minutes is enough to get you all the vitamin D you need.' It can be achieved outside of peak UV hours, too, and in winter, the NHS advises taking a daily vitamin D supplement. 'You can also get vitamin D from your diet in things like oily fish and eggs, so there are ways you can supplement it very easily,' says Dr Wilson. It's not just melanoma that SPF is scientifically proven to help protect you from, but non-melanoma types of skin cancer too - the most common cancer in the UK, with 156,000 cases each year. 'We've got concrete evidence that SPF can reduce your incidence of squamous cell carcinoma,' says Dr Wilson. 'People die of squamous cell carcinoma. 'It can invade deeply into the skin and even into the structures of the face, head and skull, and it can spread through the body to the lymph nodes and distant organs like the lungs.' Meanwhile, basal cell carcinoma is very rarely deadly. 'But it's incredibly disfiguring depending on where it is on the body,' says Dr Wilson. 'I've got a patient who has basal cell carcinoma that is essentially destroying his eye because it's growing into the bones around it - he's now lost the function of his right eye. 'These skin cancers are not just trivial things you can chop off.' What is confusing for many experts is the fact that many sharing anti-SPF views work in the beauty sphere - much of which is geared towards anti-ageing. 'The TikTok generation are more likely to get prophylactic (preventative) Botox to stop them getting wrinkles than they are to wear sunscreen potentially,' says Dr Wilson. 'That makes no sense whatsoever. An amateur TikTok warrior isn't the same as the Government, NHS or your doctor's advice. Dr Wilson 'The best way to stop yourself from getting wrinkles and having premature ageing is wearing a good, high-quality SPF on your face.' Dr Chen agrees: 'UV radiation doesn't just raise cancer risk - it permanently damages the skin. 'It breaks down collagen and destroys elastic fibres. So every bit of unprotected exposure quietly accelerates ageing too.' If you come across something deemed controversial on social media, Dr Wilson urges everyone to think twice. 'You need to look at the message and the messenger,' he says. 'An amateur TikTok warrior isn't the same as the Government, NHS or your doctor's advice. 'It's very easy to whip up a frenzy for likes and attention on social media.' The good news is there are tonnes of products out there to suit different needs; SPFs for sensitive, oily, dry and dark skin. What the experts are clear on is that your skin, and potentially your life, depends on that little bottle of SPF. 'USING SPF WOULD HAVE SAVED ME' 8 8 Lisa Costello, 43, has battled melanoma twice after being 'addicted to tanning' for years – and never applying SPF to protect her skin. The driving instructor, from Essex, says it is a 'bad mistake' to not use suncream – and blames not wearing it herself as the cause of her melanoma diagnosis. 'I 100% regret not using SPF,' she said. 'If I had used SPF, it would have prevented me from getting skin cancer. 'As a child, I remember getting quite burnt and blistering in the sun. 'When I was older, I used tanning oils instead of protective sun cream.' The first of Lisa's cancerous moles was found in 2018, and a second in 2021. Her dad died of melanoma cancer in 2015 after being diagnosed in 2011. But Lisa has had tests and the results found no genetic link. In the past, Lisa used sunbeds and felt 'desperate' to be tanned. Now, she says: 'After what I've been through, I now wear SPF every single day. 'I apply it again at the hottest point during the day, and if I go abroad, I re-apply it every two hours. 'I put it on my kids on a regular basis, too – sun protection has to start at a very young age.' Responding to those who share misinformation about suncream online, Lisa warned: 'I hope they never get affected by skin cancer because it's absolutely awful. 'Not wearing SPF is a very risky thing to do - and something you may live to regret.'
