How can 🚭services better reach disconnected smokers? It's all about building trust. Allow staff time to engage with the community they want to reach. Reflect & refine the practices used #Smokefree2030 @TomMills1984 @susie_sykes_ @AshOrgUK @LTA_London

A step forward from @DCMS but still much to do. Our research shows how community organisations and people with Lived Experience (LE) can work together to address gambling harms. A comprehensive public health strategy is required that includes support for LE-led organisations

A fascinating read for library fans! And my favourite library buildings all feature: Swiss Cottage, Fullwell Cross, and Canada Water.

Deeply concerning & disappointing that Smashed, a school-based programme funded by multinational alcoholic beverage company Diageo, is being allowed to tour schools in Wales ⬇️

The @guardian view on public libraries: "For all their benefits, funding for libraries is never a priority, trumped by the more urgent demands of healthcare and schools. And yet, properly resourced, they can help alleviate the pressures on both." theguardian.com/commentisfre…

This sticks with me...
"patient and public inclusion in research may become less likely to aim towards inclusion of public and patient-led priorities, acting instead as kind of a “handmaiden” to research, servicing and validating institutionally pre-defined research goals"
