. @FMeasham of @WeAreTheLoopUK on drug-testing: "it is an increasingly accepted part of festivals and will be increasingly an accepted part of city centre drugs services” Very encouraging to see a harm reduction approach taken by @ukhomeoffice http://ow.ly/3p4Y30o7jSv 

An inquiry by @socialmediaAPPG found almost two-thirds (63%) of young people reported social media was a good source of health information What does this mean for managing the impact of platforms on health and wellbeing? Read #NewFilters to find out http://ow.ly/eu2H30o6tos 

Great to see @UniversityLeeds the latest to join the list of university campuses going #smokefree. Equally encouraging to hear it will be sympathetic to #vaping on campus, recognising it as an aid to quit smoking. https://thetab.com/uk/leeds/2019/03/15/a-new-policy-has-been-introduced-to-make-leeds-university-campus-smoke-free-from-august-47691 …

Our #NewFilters report came out yesterday. We call for the government to commission robust, longitudinal research into social media, mental health and wellbeing. We believe a levy on platforms should help fund this research Read the report : http://ow.ly/eu2H30o6tos 

LISTEN: It's time for the UK Government to make sensible and necessary interventions into the Wild West that #socialmedia has become. It's impact on young people's #mentalhealth must not be underestimated. @BBCRadioWales | #NewFilters @socialmediaAPPG | @R_S_P_H

"NHS funding must always focus on the greatest need. Where this is not happening, we cannot ignore it." Some important points made by @lucyallan on #HealthInequalities and @NHSEngland, we very much welcome urgency in this area. https://www.politicshome.com/news/uk/health-and-care/nhs/house/house-magazine/102566/lucy-allan-hospital-trusts-must-focus …

We’ve got to do more to support children & young people’s mental health. I welcome @socialmediaAPPG’s #NewFilters report on this today - I’ll look at its recommendations closely https://www.independent.co.uk/news/health/social-media-facebook-instagram-twitter-watchdog-children-a8827256.html …
