Abstract

Aims: The global public health landscape is rapidly evolving, driven by emerging infectious diseases, shifting vaccination priorities, and climate-related health risks. The WES Synthesis 2025 project aimed to consolidate and analyse recent intelligence from international and national sources to inform strategic planning, policy development, and workforce preparedness.

Methods: Outputs generated between January and September 2025 were systematically reviewed from WHO, ECDC, UKHSA, CDC, ProMED, and national public health bodies. A thematic analysis identified trends across six domains: emerging infectious diseases, vaccination guidance, antimicrobial resistance, sexual health, environment and health, and public health systems. Items were categorised by theme, action type, and relevance.

Results: Over 1,000 intelligence items were reviewed. Key findings included measles and mpox resurgence, expanded avian influenza surveillance, and updated vaccination guidance for COVID-19, RSV, and influenza. Other priorities included antimicrobial resistance monitoring, rising STI rates among young adults in Ireland, climate-sensitive disease patterns, and strengthened digital preparedness frameworks.

Discussion: The WES Synthesis 2025 underscores the value of integrated horizon scanning and thematic evidence review in strengthening public health intelligence. Findings provide actionable insights to support timely decision-making, targeted interventions, and enhanced situational awareness. This approach offers a replicable model for multidisciplinary evidence integration to address evolving health threats.

整合全球公共卫生情报——来自WES综合2025的专题分析。

目标：在新出现的传染病、不断变化的疫苗接种重点以及与气候有关的健康风险的推动下，全球公共卫生格局正在迅速演变。WES综合2025项目旨在整合和分析来自国际和国家来源的最新情报，为战略规划、政策制定和劳动力准备提供信息。方法：系统回顾了2025年1月至9月WHO、ECDC、UKHSA、CDC、ProMED和国家公共卫生机构的产出。专题分析确定了六个领域的趋势：新发传染病、疫苗接种指导、抗微生物药物耐药性、性健康、环境与卫生以及公共卫生系统。项目按主题、行动类型和相关性进行分类。结果：共审查情报项目1000余项。主要发现包括麻疹和m痘卷土重来、扩大禽流感监测以及更新了COVID-19、呼吸道合胞病毒和流感疫苗接种指南。其他优先事项包括抗菌素耐药性监测、爱尔兰年轻人中不断上升的性传播感染发病率、对气候敏感的疾病模式以及加强数字防范框架。讨论：WES综合2025强调综合水平扫描和专题证据审查在加强公共卫生情报方面的价值。研究结果提供了可操作的见解，以支持及时决策、有针对性的干预和增强态势感知。这种方法为多学科证据整合提供了一个可复制的模型，以应对不断变化的健康威胁。

期刊介绍： Since its inception in 1867, the Journal of the Medical Association of Ireland and now in its present format, the Irish Medical Journal, has provided the medical community in Ireland with an invaluable service. As one of the leading biomedical publications in Ireland, it has sought to continue the education of medical students and postgraduates through scientific research, review articles and updates on contemporary clinical practices while providing an ongoing forum for medical debate. A measure of our stature is that we are listed in the Index Medicus and issued annually with a citation factor from the Institute for Scientific Information.
