On 14 November 2025, the global community marks World Diabetes Day, shining a spotlight on the theme “Diabetes across life stages”, recognising that from childhood, through reproductive years, working age and into older adulthood, diabetes can affect anyone. 

For regulated sectors in the UK, including health and social care, education, and workplaces, this day serves as a reminder that effective prevention, timely diagnosis, and inclusive support systems are key not only for individual well-being but also for compliance, safeguarding and organisational culture. In this blog, Anna Nova Galeon explores how organisations can integrate diabetes awareness into governance, workforce training, procurement, and well-being strategies, using systems like ComplyPlus™ to turn awareness into action and accountability.

On 24 October 2025, the world unites for World Polio Day, led by Rotary International and the World Health Organization (WHO), to reaffirm the global commitment to eradicating polio once and for all. This year’s theme, “End Polio: Every Child, Every Vaccine, Everywhere.” highlights the power of partnership, vaccination, and public health collaboration in safeguarding generations from a preventable disease. For regulated UK sectors such as health and social care, education, and community services, the campaign reinforces the importance of infection prevention, equitable access, and compliance with immunisation frameworks. In this blog, Anna Nova Galeon explores how global health lessons translate into organisational accountability, resilience, and public trust, showing that ending polio begins with collective action and shared responsibility.
