The HPV vaccine is saving lives.

New research by Queen Mary University of London and Cancer Research UK shows deaths have fallen sharply since school-age girls began being offered it in 2008, and around 200 lives have been saved in England so far thanks to the vaccine.

The vaccine protects against high-risk HPV, a virus that can lead to cervical cancer and some other cancers.

Both girls and boys can get protection from high-risk HPV by having the HPV vaccination in their teenage years. It not only protects against cervical cancer, but other types of cancer too.

You can help protect your child by giving consent for them to have their vaccination when invited.

And remember: cervical screening is still important, even if youโ€™ve had the HPV vaccine.

East Staffordshire Primary Care Network is proud to be playing a key role in a new regional research network designed to bring more clinical trials, innovative treatments and research opportunities closer to local communities.

The Central and North West Midlands Commercial Research Delivery Centre has now officially launched and will work with partners across the Midlands to help make research more accessible, particularly for communities who may experience health inequalities or poorer health outcomes.

By supporting this work locally, East Staffordshire PCN is helping to create more opportunities for patients and communities to take part in research, while also supporting the development of new treatments, medicines and healthcare technologies.
