🌞 Have your say on new sunbed safety rules! 🌞
The government has launched a 12-week consultation to strengthen regulations around commercial sunbeds and better protect children and young people.

Proposals include:
🔒 Mandatory ID checks
🚫 Banning unsupervised ‘tap and tan’ systems
⚠️ Clearer health warnings
❌ Cracking down on misleading claims (like sunbeds helping with weight loss or preventing sunburn!)

New rules could be introduced as early as 2027. The consultation closes on 14 August.

🌟🏆 Exciting news! 🏆🌟
We’re delighted that a project we have supported, the Sleep and Cancer project, has been shortlisted for the Ingrid Fuchs Cancer Nursing Award at the 2026 The Nursing Times Awards 🎉

This achievement highlights the power of co-production, with people living with cancer shaping the work from the very beginning. Their experiences of disrupted sleep helped guide a more compassionate and practical approach 💬

Through collaboration with the Lincolnshire Cancer Co-production Group, patients, clinicians and partners worked together to design accessible, empathetic support, including sharing real experiences to ensure the content truly reflects people’s needs ❤️

This shortlisting celebrates what’s possible when we listen, learn and design services with people, not just for them.

A huge thank you to The Sleep Charity, the co-production group, and all the brilliant CNSs, nurses, AHPs and colleagues involved 👏
