An Alzheimer’s drug which slows decline in patients has been approved in the UK, but will not be available on the NHS. The drug lecanemab was shown to reduce cognitive decline by a quarter in patients but its benefits “were too small to justify the significant cost to the NHS”. Lecanemab works by targeting a rogue protein called amyloid, which builds up in the brain causing disrupt to brain function. There are however concerns over some side effects as well as the cost and complexity of administering the drug. About 70,000 adults in England would have been eligible for treatment with lecanemab. NHS England are currently looking at 27 other Alzheimer’s drugs which could be approved in the coming years.

Junior doctors are set to strike again for 5 days in the lead up to the general election over their long-running pay dispute. Members from the BMA will walk out from 7am on 27th June as there has been no credible new offer after fresh talks started in mid-May. The BMA have asked for a 35% pay rise to make up for 15 years of below-inflation pay rises. This will be the 11th walkout by junior doctors, since their first strike in March 2023. There is expected to be huge disruptions to elective services, like routine operations. Nearly 1.5 million appointments and operations have been cancelled due to strike action in England, costing around £3bn. https://lnkd.in/efz3XhHQ #Strikes #JuniorDoctorStrikes #NHS #strikeAction #BMA #NHSEngland #Healthcare
