Cholera was discovered centuries ago, but there’s still a lot we don’t know about the disease. Research can help provide answers to how and why it spreads, and how to protect people. But for true impact, these findings need to be usable for policy makers. Rachael Hore, Senior Research Manager at Wellcome, shares why this matters for progress against cholera: https://lnkd.in/dxy4W3Ns

Food production accounts for nearly a third of global greenhouse gas emissions. How do we choose diets that are better for our health and the planet? In this episode of our podcast, ‘When Science Finds a Way’, Alisha Wainwright speaks with Professor Pete Scarborough, who is researching how to support more sustainable food systems. We also hear from Jo, a participant testing a new digital tool which helps people make more sustainable choices at the supermarket.

Group singing can reduce symptoms of postnatal depression for up to six months, finds new research funded by Wellcome and published in the British Journal of Psychiatry. Led by King's College London and Breathe Arts Health Research, the study is the first to evaluate both the clinical and cost effectiveness of group singing sessions for mothers experiencing postnatal depression. It’s a powerful example of how arts-in-health interventions can offer accessible, effective and engaging support – especially for those facing barriers to traditional care. 📖 Read more via BBC News: https://lnkd.in/eyrNrzuj 🎙️ Or listen to our podcast episode to learn more about how creativity might play a role in supporting mental health: https://lnk.to/KPParI
Through harmonies and lullabies, King’s researchers are using singing to treat symptoms of post-natal depression in a mum and baby group in South London. The study, led by researchers at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience, shows specially designed singing classes can be a clinically effective and a low-cost way of helping mums who struggle with depression after birth, ‘Melodies for Mums’ is part of the SHAPER programme, a suite of interventions that uses the arts to tackle health issues. Nearly 200 mums with postnatal depression took part in the study across South London, with results showing a 6-month programme of singing folk and gospel songs significantly reduces depressive symptoms. One participant, Holly, 30, told the BBC: "And at the very first session here, I walked in and I was like, 'oh, this is my safe place'. Like, I'm safe here."

This year’s World Health Summit has been thought-provoking. There’s now a clear and growing consensus: global health needs substantial reform. The next challenge is the hardest one – how do we get there? That’s the conversation we need to have. Watch to hear more of my thoughts on this. #WHS2025

Mental health is finally getting the attention it needs on the global stage. This week, I’m at the World Health Summit. It’s been inspiring to join conversations shaping the future of mental health care. These discussions build on the important commitments made by global leaders at #UNGA80. At Wellcome, we’re proud to help turn those promises into progress through investment in science, lived experience and partnerships. I’m especially excited to celebrate two new collaborations that will help drive real change: • with the World Health Organization, we’re supporting a bold programme to strengthen mental health policy and practice – including the first Global Mental Health Summit in Africa to elevate regional leadership • with UNICEF, we’re accelerating global measurement, accountability and action for child, adolescent and caregiver mental health and psychosocial support Together, we're working towards a world where no one is held back by mental health problems. #WHS2025 Photo credit: Krisztián Bócsi

We need more voices in global bioethics conversations. This goal is driving Mohammad Firdaus Abdul Aziz, DPhil's research at the University of Malaya. Cutting edge medical technologies, like stem cell therapies, raise complex ethical and legal questions. And a lot of the answers to these questions are shaped by Western ideas. Large scale international collaboration will bring forward voices from underrepresented regions like Southeast Asia. This will ensure that more diverse perspectives are represented in global bioethics discourse and decisions. 🎥 Watch to learn more about Mohammad’s research
