UK GPN/MH Nurses, I have a genuine ask for your insights.
How much do you know about problem gambling?
Has a patient ever disclosed this was an issue in your field of practice?
Would you know where to direct them to for support?

- As they were 16yo we focused on how the wider determinants can manifest in ill health
- We tasked them to design an intervention to reduce CYP inequalities, using their experience
Was phenomenal!

"Research from the Health Foundation shows that the Public Health Grant has been cut by 24% on a real-terms per person basis since 2015/6, and despite the outstanding work of local public health teams this reduced funding has risked delivery of these critical services becoming unsustainable."
FPH welcomes today’s announcement of an increase in funding for local public health services.
After a decade of cuts, this 5% increase to the Public Health Grant represents an important first step in bolstering essential local health services.
