The race to cervical cancer elimination | Sponsored
Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women globally. It causes more than 800 deaths in the UK each year.
Yet 99.8% of cervical cancer cases are entirely preventable. Regular screening and the introduction of the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination are helping to reduce the number of deaths. With smart policy and public health interventions NHS England have set 2040 as the target date for total elimination of cervical cancer.
If that goal is to be met the issue of health inequality needs to be addressed; currently screening and vaccination rates vary between different regions, communities and socio-economic groups.
So what needs to be done to share best practice and narrow these inequalities?
In this episode of Spotlight on Policy, host Zoe Grunwald is joined by Emma Cerrone, Business Unit Director for Public Health & Vaccines at MSD; Dr Adeola Olaitan, Honorary Associate Professor at University College London and Honorary Consultant Gynaecological Oncologist at UCLH; and Gayathri Kumar, Senior Economist at OHE, the Office for Health Economics.
This episode has been fully funded by MSD who, as sponsors, have reviewed and inputted to the final content. The report referenced by Office for Health Economics throughout this episode was fully funded by MSD. Ultimate editorial control for this episode and the OHE report rests solely with the New Statesman and the Office for Health Economics, respectively. MSD is one of the world’s leading pharmaceutical companies active in several key areas of global health, including immunisation and oncology.

Customer Reviews
A bit uneven on the Rochdale outcome
Regular longtime listener. Always appreciate your analysis, though this episode betrayed the over reliance on “Westminster Bubble” armchair chat.
Generally good
But whenever the subject of the Cass report comes up, the New Statesman fails to include any trans voices or perspectives. The recent interview with Cass and its writeup by Hannah Barnes fawn over her and the report uncritically rather than making any attempt to challenge the report’s many and numerous shortcomings — well documented by other journalists like Owen Jones and Freddy McConnell. Serious, evidence-based criticisms are swatted away without engagement. The New Statesman advances harmful transphobia guised as medical science, and in spite of its otherwise-interesting political coverage, I can’t support it anymore.
way too much sponsored content
the introduction of podcasts paid for by large corporations where the vested interests are obvious (on smoking, by philip morris, on pharmaceuticals, by daiichi sankyo, on trade unions, by uber) is a very strange decision. a shadow of what it was under stephen bush, used to be one of the most incisive and insightful political podcasts in britain
