Euan and Neil found a common passion in their love of travel to remote parts of the world. They took this one step further by combining their passion with their careers. As experienced nurses working in travel health and public health Euan & Neil became frustrated with the poor quality e-learning available for health professionals. After leading the clinical education department of one of the UK’s largest nurse and pharmacist clinic networks, they channeled their experience to create Health Academy. They wanted to create a new, fun place for learning with a variety of learning options to suite the goals of the individual practitioner. Our mission is to improve the learning experience of healthcare professionals. We don’t just want you to improve your knowledge and skills so you’re better and more fulfilled in your job!

Meningococcal disease remains relatively uncommon, but recent increases highlight the need for continued vigilance. In 2024–25, the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) recorded 378 cases of Invasive Meningococcal Disease (IMD), up from 340 the previous year. MenB was responsible for the vast majority of cases (82.6%), followed by MenW (11.3%), MenY (3.4%), and MenC (0.8%) With cases rising, recognising symptoms early and maintaining high vaccination uptake are more important than ever.

At Health Academy, we break down each vaccine-preventable disease using our practical 4T’s Framework, helping healthcare professionals get clear on the essentials:

🔹 Type
🔹 Transmission
🔹 Threat
🔹 Treatment and Prevention

Let’s explore meningococcal disease using this approach.

As healthcare professionals, most of us have heard of the ‘Resus Council’ and their regular updates, but who they are and what that means for us in practice is not always clear. This blog will explore who the Resus Council are, what the new 2025 changes include, why they matter, and how they impact us as healthcare professionals.

The 2025 update brings exciting developments, a more holistic approach, and greater community involvement. From teaching life-saving skills to children as young as four, to a new focus on First Aid as a core element rather than an addition to Basic Life Support, these changes mark an important step towards a more inclusive and proactive approach to saving lives.

14/11/2025

Menopause is one of the most common, yet often most underestimated factors shaping women’s health in primary care. Around 13 million women in the UK are currently perimenopausal or menopausal, roughly one-third of the female population, yet many still struggle to access consistent, evidence-based advice and treatment. According to recent research, many women feel their symptoms are not taken seriously, and clinicians report varying levels of confidence in managing menopause-related care.

Sometimes it’s the main reason a woman books in, but more often it emerges halfway through the appointment, hidden behind other concerns like poor sleep, low mood, joint pain, or fatigue. It’s one of those issues that can often linger beneath the surface of other health concerns, yet once discussed, it’s clear how much impact it’s having day to day.

School trips are exciting and valuable learning experiences — but they also introduce unique school trip safeguarding risks. From local outings to overseas residentials, schools have a duty to keep every child safe, supported, and supervised throughout.

This blog explores what that means in practice, from planning and risk assessments to consent, medical responsibilities, and emergency response.

This post is part of our Safeguarding and Child Health: Essentials for Every Setting series.
