At last the legislation is set in motion. A brilliant advance for the health of all of us, but particularly the next generations.
All living UK Chief Medical Officers support the Tobacco and Vapes Bill.
Smoking kills and harms very large numbers. Most smokers wish they had never started but are trapped by addiction.
A smoke-free generation would be a major health advance.

On this #HolocaustMemorialDay we remember the millions of Jewish and other victims – men, women and children – of Nazi persecution, and of subsequent genocides. It was our honour to have hosted @HMD_UK’s UK Ceremony at #Guildhall this week. #HMD2024 #LightTheDarkness bit.ly/47RK9JC

In England, sexual health clinics are funded by the Public Health Grant which is managed by Directors of Public Health.
Nos of people using sexual health services are at a 20-year high.
Despite this⬆️in demand, the grant has been ✂️in real terms by over a quarter since 2015.
Headline asks- restore SHS funding, stop tendering, invest in workforce and underpin this with a Sexual Health Strategy for the future 💪🏽 @BASHH_UK @bashh_trainees @BashhSas @Prof_Matt_P

New research report: we're unlikely to reach 2030 HIV prevention targets unless we see an expansion in testing and PrEP uptake: both are currently too expensive.

42 years after the first AIDS cases were reported
27 years after the development of a combination of drugs that effectively treat HIV and prevent AIDS
6 years after it was confirmed that undetectable means untransmittable…
living with HIV still carries a burden of stigma.
