UK commercial EV charging crisis threatens net zero ambitions
The UK’s journey to net zero is at risk of stalling, and new analysis reveals the major obstacles to decarbonisation of the country’s commercial vehicle fleet: commercial EV charging infrastructure. Despite increasing availability of zero-emission vans and trucks, operators face delays in grid connections at depots (up to 15 years), threatening a transition from fossil […]
NHS rolls out 5 min nivolumab JAB for 15 cancers
Thousands of patients benefit from the new nivolumab cancer JAB with more than 12 diseases, and the NHS is the first in Europe to offer new injections. Nivolumab, an injectable immunotherapy, means that patients can receive treatment for 2 weeks or monthly in 5 minutes, rather than 1 hour, via IV intravenous drip. The rollout […]
